Extraordinary Times Call for Savvy Outsourcing Solutions

摘要

The numbers are staggering: Over a span of just seven years, two of the worst bear markets of the past century have ravaged the global asset management industry. The latest one has wiped out some $US15 trillion in asset values, causing havoc in every asset class, market, geography and client segment: 15 years of capital gains wiped out in 15 months.rnAs a result of the financial crisis, many investment mangers are reviewing their product range, their operational model and the infrastructure used to support their business. In this transformed economic landscape, investor demands are shifting to top-quality, low-risk, liquid investments, and investment managers are assessing their opportunities to adapt. While doing so, they are increasingly recognizing the advantages - financial, technological and operational - of outsourcing non-core middle and back-office responsibilities to an independent service provider.
