New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/23/2021 -- Despite the issues and obstacles of the past 12 months the asset management industry has continued to grow. In fact, figures released over the summer indicate that it actually reached $103 trillion in assets under management at the end of 2020. Institutional investments represent just over half of this figure while retail portfolios account for around $42 trillion. Investment in private markets increased 12% annually as of September last year and this asset class is being highlighted as one that represents a major opportunity going forward. Other key areas for growth include data and analytics, which could be a game changer for every business on every level, from distribution to customizing investment products. It's also notable that private market players are now being viewed as having the potential to help drive sustainable change in the industry, whether that relates to diversity on boards or ensuring that investments have a soundly sustainable basis.
