Survival of the Fittest – A Playbook for Success
More than ever before, asset managers need to build and strengthen institutional resilience, if they are to tackle the emerging challenges of an increasingly unpredictable world.



In this new playbook, we explore how asset management firms and their investors can best adapt to this fast-evolving environment, focusing on three key areas:
Liquidity - tapping new financing solutions
New financing solutions, such as general partner-led secondary transactions, continuation funds and net asset value lending, are rapidly coming to the fore in private markets.. Managed correctly, these can create effective outcomes and even benefits for all parties. But, with investors and regulators demanding ever-increasing disclosure, transparency and alignment, how can managers best approach the scale of the operational and technological requirements that these types of transactions entail?
Cybersecurity - building resilience to tech threats
Vulnerability to cybersecurity risks and attacks is high on the list of concerns for fund managers, investors and regulators. The potential damage – financial, operational and reputational – is immense. So how can asset managers best mitigate against the threats to their firms and investors? What do allocators and regulators need to see? How do firms embed cyber risk awareness into their business culture from top to bottom? And what does best practice look like in terms of building institutional resilience and the most robust operational infrastructure?
Geopolitics - navigating a world of rising risks
After decades of relative calm, geopolitical risk has become a major issue for asset managers and investors. Rising instability and tensions around the world are making financial markets increasingly vulnerable to potentially severe shocks and moves. So how can asset managers most effectively incorporate geopolitical risk awareness and analysis into their investment management and business management strategies? And how can they construct investor portfolios that are best positioned to minimise the risks from unexpected events and maximise the potential to capitalise on opportunities?
