Citywire Amplify - asset management uncovered

Welcome back to Citywire Amplify. We’re now landing in your inbox weekly, bringing our usual insight into the asset management world.

This time, we take a closer look at Alpha Female, Citywire’s study into female fund managers – read the full report here. While the 2022 analysis reveals an ‘appallingly slow’ rate of change, some groups have done much better than others. Amplify has the full rankings, revealing female tenure, turnover, ratings and more.

We have also scanned our Equities Elite to reveal the women on the 421-strong list. Camilla Giannoni asks them about the challenges they have faced.

Great groups need great managers, and another way to measure fund firms is by their top performers. Our ratings team has ranked asset management groups by the number of Citywire-rated managers and AAA designations.

Meanwhile, fund selectors deal with struggles of their own. With hundreds of launches globally this year, they find the choices paralysing. Citywire Selector editor Chris Sloley describes a paradox of choice and complaints of ‘fund name bingo’ in this exclusive column for Amplify.

Whether your job is selling products, managing money or modernising your workforce, Amplify has the data tools and insights to help you move the needle.

EUROPEAN SELECTORS
Too much choice jams up European fund buyer selections
