Innovation in Asset Management can relate to different axes of the business model and take different forms. The challenge for Asset Managers is therefore to define a roadmap consistent with the company’s strategy and the capabilities of the management company.
Product innovation is often a priority. Technologies like big data and artificial intelligence are creating new opportunities in financial research, investment processes and management strategies.
Service-based innovation is also an interesting axis for Asset Management companies, which see it as an important lever for retaining existing investors and a potential diversification of sources of income.
Innovation in the distribution of financial products can also bring in new customers and increased collection. Digital distribution for Retail investors in BtoB or BtoBtoC is a new distribution channel that should be mastered. Some Asset Managers will be tempted by direct distribution (or Direct to Consumer / DtoC).
Finally, innovation in the post trade process also allows a reduction in production costs, operational risk and compliance.
In this context of abundant innovation, Asset Managers ask themselves many questions:
