Anticipating the Future of the Fund Management Industry
The Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) IV
Directive, which becomes effective on 1st July 2011, is designed to facilitate the
sale of funds across Europe and to support greater rationalization of the asset
management industry. The UCITS IV initiative was based upon the assumption that
existing regulation is a barrier to increased concentration within the European
asset management industry. In 2006 the European Commission wrote in its white paper
that regulation did not allow fund managers with funds or activities in different
Member States sufficient flexibility to organize or restructure businesses. These
inefficiencies and constraints are reflected in higher costs and lower returns that
are borne by the fund investors.

Improve business performance and identify new opportunities by leveraging actionable
real-time business insights with Business Analytics and Reporting Software
Despite a rapidly evolving competitive landscape, wealth management firms need to
adapt to economic and market developments, and continue to focus on their clients'
portfolios. For most institutions, these clients take the form of high net-worth
individuals (HNIs), corporations, and trusts. Catering to the needs of these clients
is a team of advisors, researchers, client relationship managers, portfolio managers,
traders and brokers, that work to help clients make investments across a swath of
products - equities, debentures, mutual funds, futures, works of art, commodities,
fixed deposits and ETFs. To achieve the necessary portfolio growth, firms are increasingly
learning to harness the power of their information - often through analytics. However,
to accomplish this, they must first understand their data and structure it appropriately.

Wealth Management Industry in Turkey
The Turkish asset management sector is still young and relatively untapped, but
is growing thanks to increased demand and first-rate service providers. There is
huge potential for growth in Turkeys asset management sector, but up until recently,
due to a period of high inflation and high real interest rate, the growth was weak.
But as real and nominal interest rates decline because of increasing stability and
the resilience of the Turkish economy towards global shocks, investors started to
search for alternatives other than time deposits and T-Bills.

A fresh Perspective on Asset Based Lending (ABL)
While asset-based lending may often be considered last-resort funding, commercial
borrowers of all types and sizes are using this flexible, cost-effective financing
to meet their cash flow needs. In fact, asset-based lending is a $200-billion-plus
market, according to the Commercial Finance Association. Users of asset-based lending
span a broad range of industries, with manufacturers representing approximately
31% of the total marketplace, followed by wholesalers (28%), and retailers (17%).
Based on revenues, the bulk of these borrowers (71%) are under $50 million in size.
The attraction to asset-based lending is obvious. This versatile, cost-efficient
debt instrument provides more flexibility than many other forms of traditional financing.
Moreover, asset-based lending can provide borrowers with enhanced operational flexibility
through all phases of the business cycle.

The Wealth Management Industry in Perspective Saudi Arabia
The wealth management industry in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) represents
a roughly $800 billion opportunity. Figure 1 shows the total amount of assets in
the hands of affluent individuals (with more than $100,000 in investable assets),
high net worth individuals (dollar millionaires or HNWIs as those in the financial
industry call them), and ultra-high net worth individuals (the UHNWIs, which have
at least $30 million in investable assets). As the figure shows, wealth in the region
lies mostly in Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Egypt and the United Arab Emirates (UAE)
represent a second tier for wealth management firms with roughly $60 billion to
$110 billion in investable assets in the hands of the richest 10% of the population
in each country. The other countries in the region represent ancillary markets,
with roughly $20 billion in assets each or the amount of wealth required to make
the top 50 in the Forbes 1000.

Wealth Management - The Next Frontier for Indian Banks
With a GDP growth rate hovering around the 7%+ mark and a strong future outlook,
Indias growth story is making it an increasingly attractive market for wealth management
firms. This trend is expected to continue, with India estimated to become the third
largest global economy by 2030. While the percentage of wealthy individuals in India
is very small compared with developed markets, forecasted growth figures point toward
a very high potential for asset accumulation over the foreseeable future.
India has the key ingredients of a high-growth wealth management market, namely
a very large and young mass affluent segment; an increase in the wealth of global
Indians; the Indian governments push to curb illicit leaks and more tightly regulate
markets; and an increasing share of the organized market players (e.g., independent
wealth advisors and small brokers/agents who double as financial advisors).
So it was not surprising to see newspapers reporting recently that the wealth management
market in the country will have a target size of 42 million households by the end
of this year (2012), as against just about 13 million in 2007.
