Boutique asset managers are an indicator of the direction of the industry. Our recent survey, conducted in collaboration with Alumia and UI Efa, reveals that boutique asset managers plan to pursue growth internationally within the next two years, through a combination of entering new markets and expanding product offerings. However, many face significant hurdles, including limited familiarity with local markets and limited often small investor contact networks.
