Executive Summary

The “Money-in-Motion” analysis is based on the reported hiring expectations of institutional investors across a range of asset classes, including traditional and alternatives products and active and passive mandates. The report seeks to address three dynamics:

  1. Where are institutional asset flows going?
  2. Who is driving institutional asset flows (by channel)?
  3. Where are the largest revenue opportunities, and where will interest be weakest?
