Distribution state-of-the-nation

Funds Europe, in association with Calastone, sought to identify the main trends affecting the evolution of fund distribution. Among the findings:
    •  42% of respondents believe robo-advisers will become the main distribution channel for raising assets from the mass retail market
    •  57% believe passive funds will take over from actively managed funds as the core investment product for mass retail customers, compared with 30% who believe the same for sophisticated investors
    •  51% believe asset managers are bad at making use of data about their distribution network and 21% believe asset managers are good at adopting new technology
    •  Technology companies such as Google and Microsoft are believed to have the greatest potential to disrupt asset management business models
    •  Direct-to-consumer models are expected to be the most important distribution channels in ten years’ time

A total of 263 people took part in the online survey.
