Fund platforms – Are they fit for the future?

Fund platforms play a pivotal role in fund distribution, but with renewed focus on cost transparency, value for money, private assets, and ESG data requirements, how will/should their business models evolve to meet the future needs of investors, distributors, and asset managers?

These challenges raise many questions: Will direct distribution models by-pass platforms? Should we expect further consolidation and in what form? What is the likely impact of increased regulatory focus on platforms, in particular related to investment recommendations, fees, and advice versus execution? What is the future value proposition of fund platforms? What about the role of technology? What do/will asset managers expect in terms of increased value to support their distribution models? How can they better leverage data? Can such fund platforms be disrupted by new technology entrants?
