Special Report: CIO Outsourcing
Experts think OCIOs will continue to amass more assets as investing markets become more complex and difficult to navigate.
Executives of OCIO managers said their existing and prospective clients are pushing them to include more diverse money managers and more ESG and DEI.
Increased market volatility, the growing prominence of ESG and alternative assets will shape demand for OCIOs, providers say.
In response to strong client demand, outsourced CIO managers are developing new investment strategies or enhancing existing approaches.
OCIO managers report increased interest from larger institutions after the turmoil of managing portfolios internally in the pandemic's wake.
Money managers and investment consultants that manage money are looking to offer and expand their mass-customization strategies.
The strong growth of OCIO assets likely will accelerate as institutional investors evaluate performance during the tumultuous first quarter.
Outsourcing managers are building out their technology platforms to better serve clients.
