Globalisation is the topic for our asset management CEO roundtable this year. What does the increasing importance of clients in new and emerging markets mean for investment management businesses? Chief executive officers discuss implications for brand, service quality, and business models. But they also continue to engage with the challenges posed by the ‘shifting pendulum’ of East/West economic change, and with the wave of regulation that still burdens the industry.

Participants:
Alain Dromer (chief executive, Aviva Investors)
Greg Ehret (head of Emea, State Street Global Advisors)
Crispin Henderson (chief executive officer, Threadneedle Investments)
Andrew Laing (deputy chief executive, Aberdeen Asset Management)
Alan Mearns (chief executive, BNY Mellon Asset Management International)
Akshay Randeva (director, strategic development, Qatar Financial Centre Authority)
Keith Skeoch (chief executive, Standard Life Investments)
