Effective fund distribution is key to success in the global funds market as new borders open and investment structures become ever more complex.
Moves to open architecture and the multiplication of distribution channels present a growing range of operational challenges and opportunities for players operating throughout the entire investment fund value chain.
As asset managers look beyond the recent financial crisis and seek to capitalise on new distribution opportunities, RBC Dexia has launched a major new poll survey report assessing the evolution of the distribution business and current market needs.
Our latest poll report “Trends in Fund Distribution” surveys a range of fund promoters and distributors and assesses the resilience of the cross-border fund market and ways promoters and distributors are adapting to change following the global financial crisis.
Our report highlights the resilience of the market and the growing focus on transparency, risk management and bottom line investment performance.
The study also explores the evolution of open architecture and very latest market demands and can provide valuable insights for promoters and distributors seeking to embrace the next phase of evolution in the cross border funds market under UCITS IV.
For a deeper understanding of how program participants responded, we encourage you to download our English report. RBC Dexia will be releasing the report in several additional languages in the near future.
