How millennials are changing the investment business - South Africa Roundtable

Many institutional investors have turned their attention toward private markets, and so over time the conversation has moved from, "There are not enough asset classes to generate a real return!" to a now pro-active "What else is outside the traditional box?" sentiment, and alternatives begin to stand out.

This Roundtable also discusses how millennials are further changing the investment industry, starting with changes in information flow and the presentation of data, virtual fact sheets, increased use of technology, to the point of disrupting intermediary partners' business models. The group also gives recommendations how to deal with the resulting reduced attention span of investors and intermediaries.
