Focus Malaysia: Living Up To Mounting Challenges
Mr. Ismitz Matthew De Alwis (Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Kenanga Investors) shares his observations on the current global challenges facing fund managers in the industry in the wake of last year’s Brexit occurrence, the US elections and lingering effects of the 1MDB saga . He lists strict regulatory policies, embracing technological advances, and the pressure of maximising returns in a high-risk environment, among the many obstacles that must be overcome. With this awareness, fund managers will be able to work hand in hand with advisers to ensure investors’ expectations are managed as well as to navigate these oncoming hurdles with prudence.
