In a new Nasdaq eVestment webinar – Beyond Traditional Limits: Launching New Investment Capabilities to Unlock Future Growth – Debbie Clarke (Consultant) and Julian Samways (Founder and Chair) share some of the key considerations for asset managers looking to launch new products, including:

The need for asset managers to be proactive in communicating their merits and advantages, both with respect to new products and their existing franchises broadly, in order to position themselves for success but also to navigate more challenging circumstances.

The priorities that investors are placing on risk management and diversification in order to meet long-term objectives and secure the best risk-adjusted returns in the current market environment.

The need for asset managers to engage with clients and intermediaries to understand what these audiences want and deliver product innovation in the context of clients’ whole portfolios.

The institutionalisation of wholesale and retail channels, and what this means for product innovation with respect to communications, transparency and operational due diligence.

The importance of intellectual capital in underpinning the rationale for new product development, and not just relying on these being extensions of existing approaches.

The focus being placed by clients on culture when selecting asset managers, and how engagement with respect to product development and innovation can demonstrate alignment.
