Trends in Asset Servicing

MarketMingle Amsterdam 2024 focused on the theme of risk mitigation with our panel of experts exploring preventative measures and solutions to consider as the Dutch pension industry transitions to Wet Toekomst Pensioenen.

Today, outsourcing is often seen as much a way to improve the quality of operations as it is a way to reduce costs.

Asset managers are continuing to grapple with cost pressures while navigating growing regulatory and technological requirements.

Better known in the equity markets, outsourced fixed income trading is gaining traction in fixed income.

By outsourcing their trading model, asset managers can add expertise, streamlined processes and improved technology.
