The Asset Management Outlook
Jason Kelly, David Druley, Nobel Gulati, David Hunt, Michelle McCloskey, Ron Mock
Leading institutional investors and asset managers, including representatives from PGM, Ontario Teachers, and Two Sigma, converge to declare traditional asset classifications obsolete as the industry pivots toward a scarcity-based model where only managers delivering true alpha command premium fees. The panel anticipates significant market consolidation over the next five years, driven by the dominance of technology in filtering noise, the rise of non-traditional talent in private markets, and capital flows shifting from liquid beta strategies to illiquid alternatives among a new generation of family offices. While geopolitical volatility is normalized, the primary long-term challenge remains the structural pressure to close the gap between projected global equity returns and historical pension targets, necessitating active management and strategic partnerships to achieve required risk-adjusted outcomes.

The Digital Age of Finance: Technology's Impact on Asset Management
Ted Lee, Michael DeAddio, Nobel Gulati, Ian Martin, Sanjay Tikku, Jethro Goodchild, Rajesh Jane, Ritesh Maheshwari
Leading financial institutions including Two Sigma, Work1, Columbia Endowment, and State Street are fundamentally reshaping their operations by deploying advanced technology to process exploding data volumes and automate traditional administrative functions. These organizations are diversifying their workforce by recruiting scientists and engineers without prior finance experience while shifting human capital toward high-level problem-solving and analytical roles. The collective strategy aims to move from legacy infrastructure to real-time, data-driven decision-making that separates true market alpha from noise to navigate increasingly complex and fragmented global markets.
