Citywire Amplify - asset management uncovered

Dear Citywire reader,

Welcome to Amplify, your go-to source for insight and analysis created exclusively for the asset management community. This newsletter, delivered fortnightly, is your first taste of what we’ll be bringing you. Drawing on Citywire’s global editorial reach, exclusive manager ratings and fund research teams, we will be delivering data and insight for asset management businesses and the people working for them.

This issue I’m excited to present a new venture: the equities elite. Just 421 managers made the cut – but where do they work? Then, we begin our quest to unpick the forces that mean some funds survive while others close, with a regular look at the launches and closures catching the editor’s eye. What do you think makes a successful fund launch? Take part in our poll to have your say.

I said this newsletter is about the people in fund management and I meant it. Check out our interview with Ninety One’s head of sustainability, our roundup of fund sales moves and a visual career map of veteran bond fund manager David Roberts.

And don’t miss our drill-down into Citywire’s Alpha Female report, revealing how Abrdn fares when it comes to mixed teams.

Next issue: Behind the scenes of an Article 9 fund launch, and one asset manager’s foray into private debt.
