Talking Points:
- Pod-shop outperformance continues. Extremely high risk-adjusted returns by the multi-managers have come down since the pandemic but the approach continues to perform well in 2024 – what is driving this?
- The segment is at forefront of U.A.E moves. Almost half (44%) of survey respondents expect these two U.A.E hubs to drive the next phase of platform growth – where else is seeing growth?
- ‘War for talent’ has major impact. The huge competition for top traders in the hedge fund industry is having a big impact on the multi-manager market, particularly in pay. Will this continue?
- Consolidation on the horizon. High operational costs could also lead to industry consolidation as the platform segment matures. More than two-thirds (68%) of the industry expects consolidation – what form will this take?
