An Introduction to the New Era of Asset Management

What changes will come to fund managers from the emerging political landscape? How will the industry evolve alongside artificial intelligence and other disruptive technologies and players? What will the upheavals in the US, UK and EU regulatory environments entail for managers around the world? In short, what are fund managers today, and how must their strategies shift along with the times? These are some of the questions taken up in Fund Managers: The Complete Guide, a globally orientated resource on fund management.

After decades of financial and technological turbulence, along with a more recent shifting of political tides, the fund management industry has entered a new era. Already closely engaged with the banks, regulatory authorities are now honing in on fund managers and it is important for managers to pivot in preparation for the future.

In this book, 30-year fund and asset management veteran Matthew Hudson offers a comprehensive resource describing the structures, daily operations, and future outlook of fund managers. Students of business and finance, along with anyone in the asset management and fund management industries, will appreciate that this book is the first of its kind a complete and global guide to fund managers. Readers will find a wealth of wisdom drawn from interviews with top fund management CEOs, as well as an in-depth investigation of how managers in all classes view the world's shifting markets. Fund Managers is essential as both an overview and a detailed look at the state of the fund management industry.
