Global 2025 Asset Servicing Survey

With participation from 16 of the largest global players headquartered across Europe and the US. The respondents provide a range of asset servicing services across the front, middle and back-office to their investment management, asset owner and other clients. It includes organisations servicing both traditional and alternative assets.

Against a backdrop of geopolitical tensions, underwhelming global economic growth, and evolving monetary policies, the asset servicing and asset management sub-sectors continue to face challenges despite continued capital market growth. These include fee pressures, increased client expectations for more real-time data and insights, integrating alternative products and improving the operating model through digitalisation and AI.

The Global 2025 Asset Servicing Survey highlights five critical trends:

• Tech modernisation and innovation
• Artificial Intelligence
• Front-to-Back (F2B) platforms
• Operating Model and Culture
• Product trends
