FCA-Asset management market study
November 18, 2016--Interim findings
The UK's asset management industry manages nearly £7tn of institutional and individual assets. Over three quarters of UK households with occupational or personal pensions use the services asset managers offer.
We found that price competition is weak in a number of areas of the industry. While the price of passive funds has fallen, active prices have remained stable. Despite a large number of firms operating in the market, the asset management industry has seen sustained, high profits over a number of years.
Investors are not always clear what the objectives of funds are, and fund performance is not always reported against an appropriate benchmark.
