Alive and Kicking - AIMA/GPP Emerging Manager Survey 2017
Published: 06 July 2017
Most alternative investment management firms are able to turn a profit and expand with considerably less than $100m in assets, according to a survey of sub-$500m firms by AIMA and GPP, the boutique prime broker. The joint survey of 135 alternative asset managers globally also shed new light on the impact of broader trends and themes on this segment of the industry, such as fee pressures, the impact of post-crisis regulations, demands for ever greater methods of alignment of interests, and the optimum mix between having dedicated in-house staff and out-sourcing.
