Recommendation

Although much has changed since the 2008 financial crisis, investors such as pension funds, insurance companies and sovereign wealth funds continue to struggle to invest their assets productively and efficiently. The need to meet long-term commitments in an environment of strict regulation, low interest rates and sustainable investing is daunting. Many have taken on more risk, but those with less money coming in than going out may not be in a position to do so. This up-to-date research from the Economist Intelligence Unit offers some stimulating food for thought for asset owners and managers. getAbstract recommends it to investors, policy makers and financial services professionals.

Take-Aways

  • Stringent regulations are increasing compliance costs and reporting requirements for asset owners such as pension funds, insurance companies and sovereign wealth funds.
  • A zero-interest-rate environment compounds investors’ challenges in meeting investment commitments.
  • Firms have been reorganizing their operations and revamping their investment strategies. Some large companies are bringing particular investment functions in-house.
