*****Newmark's UK Asset Management Yearbook 1997/98*****
************************by Wade R Newmark************************
Until now, the only place to find overview and comment on fund management
has been through newspapers and a few specialist magazines. Newmark's UK
Asset Management Yearbook provides a starting point for individuals and
firms who are interested in fund management. This book covers the key
subject areas of most common interests in three parts:
Part One: Business Analysis
Business analysis begins with an introduction to the industry and to
government policy and legislation. It goes on to examine competitive
forces, key success factors, profitability, performance, UK product
business trends, demand and asset allocation.
Part Two: Competitor Analysis
Covering the structure of supply, strategies and business policy areas, and
competitor performance and market shares.
Part Three: Industry Developments
Looks at bancassurance, conflicts of interest, foreign penetration, new
products, retirement provision and the impact of new technology.
About the author.....
Wade Newmark was previously Head of Strategic Research & Corporate
Development for Normura Research Institute's European regional activities
and has recently moved to The Principal Finance Group at Nikko Europe plc.
Two key underlying trends in UK fund management are identified and
emphasised throughout the book: commercial tension and changing culture.
Commercial tension continues to manifest itself in the growing divergence
between the interests of the various stakeholders in the fund management
community - investors, managers and shareholders. Changing culture is
reflected in the way that the public have seen fit to increasingly
substitute personal trust with statutory regulation which, over time, has
seen the downgrading of personal relationships as an investment
consideration thereby removing the most powerful self-regulating tool of
all: personal reputation.
Newmark's UK Asset Management Yearbook if the first comprehensive guide to
the UK asset management industry designed for both a domestic and
international readership of fund manageers, institutional investors abd the
financial advisory community.
