The U.K.’s Long Term Asset Fund initiative could be a strategic solution for pension schemes amid future volatility.

At IMpower FundForum in Monaco, participants zoomed in on the democratization of private assets and the role of service partners, technology, and innovation in driving future growth.

Asset managers are facing increasingly rigorous regulatory scrutiny and fast paced technological change as they continue to grapple with market shifts. So when IMpower’s FundForum event called on senior industry leaders to share their collective experience and wisdom, they readily gathered to discuss the next phase of evolution. BBH's Janet Du Chenne reports on the main themes.

Asset managers are increasingly focused on achieving scale and creating operational efficiencies. But as demand for transformation and automation increases, successfully deploying new solutions can be challenging.

With a growing focus in asset management on retail investor access to less liquid alternative investment funds, the U.K has mobilized the Long-Term Asset Fund (LTAF). Lata Vyas and Andrew Ritchie explain why 2022 could be a big year for this special purpose investment vehicle.

Lata Vyas explores how managers can automate to achieve a bird’s eye view of executions across their portfolios, facilitating investor access to private market assets.
