The future is indeed bright for the asset management industry.
Few people in the asset management industry would have thought so in 2008 or 2009. Changing markets and investor needs will combine to produce a positive environment and huge opportunities for asset managers.
The Global Financial Crisis of 2008–2009 was a major economic event affecting millions of people, but only led to a temporary detour in the long-term growth path for assets managed by the industry. They have continued to rise and today worldwide assets under management total $63.9 trillion.

To help asset managers plan for the future, we have considered the likely changes in the asset management industry landscape over the coming years and identified key gamechangers which will impact the competitive environment.” – PwC
