Financial Insights interviewed 23 investment management to better understand
their plans to use outsourcing to support their investment operations.
Financial Insights Canada concludes that:
y Private wealth managers lead outsourcing adoption.
y Investment managers will increasingly exploit outsourcing.
y All institutional asset managers, pension funds, and insurance companies
interviewed are considering outsourcing in 2004.
y Moving the problem is insufficient.
"Pension fund firms are currently laggards in the adoption of outsourcing. Of
the six pension fund firms we spoke with, only one of these investment managers
had outsourced more than one business function."
