Investment management and real estate companies are facing an intricate jigsaw of challenges and opportunities.
Demand for investment management services is set to soar as consumers seek efficient ways to fund longer retirements. Further openings are coming from the increasing affluence and sophistication of customers in emerging markets such as China and India. However, companies need to contend with increasing competition and ever more exacting customer demands against a background of mounting regulation and continuing financial market volatility.
Although US and European direct real estate investment looks set to outperform most other assets in the near term, the immediate outlook may be tempered by a range of economic concerns including the impact of consumer debt and rising interest rates. Large sectors of the market are also facing surplus capital and a potential lack of investment stock.
