Report Highlights
The majority of European asset managers believe that as well as benefiting
their clients, offering alternative investments can open doors for their own
business by helping them to develop wealth management relationships. Only 10%
of European asset managers felt that offering these products did not lead to
closer ties with wealth manager partners.
In each of the main European markets, asset managers preferred global players
over local competitors for developing alternative investments. In some cases,
global players were more favored in their home market (such as AXA in France),
but in many cases there was little sign that asset managers prefer firms that
are based in their home country.
European asset managers surveyed indicated that their clients are still
primarily attracted to alternative investments because of the opportunity to
diversify their portfolios, but there is a general trend moving slightly away
from a purely defensive stance among investors.
