Abstract:

In coming years, the global asset management market will be affected by changes in the business, investment and legislative environment. In particular, changes to the way in which companies organise the provision of retirement benefits to their staff, and the need for governments to review and restructure pensions provision are likely to result in the growth of global asset managers, and the increasing importance of branding and distribution. Research among employers, their advisers and staff will be an important element in the success of financial institutions in meeting the future challenge.
