Asset Management Survey

This is the IMA’s tenth annual survey of the UK asset management industry. Assets managed in the UK on behalf of domestic and international clients now stand at nearly £4.2trn, the highest we have recorded.

However, while assets are at record levels, the industry is increasingly focused on challenges ahead. These are multiple. A continuing financial crisis, combined with the slowest recovery from recession in over 100 years, will result in ever greater scrutiny of the role played by financial services.

IMA member firms are also becoming increasingly conscious of the potential impact that new and revised regulations may have on their clients and business.

We considered the time was right to take the temperature on these issues.
