Key Topics
- Has the IAM sector progressed as rapidly or as comprehensively as market participants expected?
- Are the IAMs as independent as they profess to be?
- Are they transparent in their approach to clients, fees and retrocessions?
- Are the IAMs truly offering objective advice and/or outperformance potential to their investor clients?
- Can the IAMs attract the requisite quality of talent with the necessary expertise and experience from banks or other firms, and thereby grow their platforms apace?
- Can clients of the independent firms transfer their clients’ private bank custodian relationships to the new ranks of digital platforms?
- Are the independents focusing sufficiently on the ageing generations in Asia and wealth transition, and therefore on the next generations who will hold the bulk of Asia’s private wealth?
- How do the IAMs balance their boutique origins and values with the need to achieve scale?
- Can the independents communicate their core values and proposition effectively, and how can they individually and collectively improve their image and their marketing?
