ββWhat Comes Next?
βThe Next Disruption in Asset Management? Asset management has evolved in distinct waves, each driven by structural innovation and enabled by technology:
β1770s: Closed-End Funds
1920s: Open-End Mutual Funds
1970s: Index Funds
1990s: ETFs
2020s: A new paradigm emerging: Vaults?
βTechnological innovations in digital trading and programmatic trading gave rise to ETFs in the 1990s, which now account for around $20 trillion in AUM. Technology continues to evolve, and with it comes the next major disruption in asset management.
βIs the next reinvention of asset management already unfolding before us?
βThe real question is not whether asset management will continue to be reinvented, but which investors will identify the next structural change early enough to benefit from it?
βThis forum will explore exactly that.
