About This Webinar
To what extent is Australia moving in the same direction as the US and UK for example – where smaller groups of institutions manage large pools of assets; complimented by a fragmented and competitive retail sector? This session will discuss the trends outlined: the blurring line between fiduciaries and their asset managers, the growing advice/direct channel, changing investor appetites and how the industry is evolving.
