Outlook on the asset management industry

According to Ted Levitt, Professor at the Harvard Business School, the future belongs to people who see possibilities before they become obvious.1 Asset management is a virtual business, but operates within a relatively low-tech infrastructure.2 Asset managers are behind the curve on embracing new technology.3 There are some game changers that will redefine the industry, having it entering the 21st Century.2 The most likely source of disruption will come from social media or technology companies.2 By 2020, technology will have become mission critical to drive client engagement, data mining on prospects, and operational efficiency as well.2 Digital technologies and data innovation are quickly transforming operational aspects of asset management, becoming sources of competitive advantage.4 By 2020 most global asset managers will have a Chief Digital Officer (CDO).2
