Managed Account Business Process Outsourcing for Money Managers: In the Eye of the Storm

Product Type: Market Research Report

Product Code: R301-952
Description
This TowerGroup Research Note looks at the money manager's unsettled business environment as it relates to the managed account world. It assesses how factors in the current environment might influence decisions regarding outsourcing and conversely how outsourcing may change the managed account landscape. Seven providers of outsourced services are profiled: the Bank of New York, the BISYS Group, CitiGroup, JPMorgan, Mellon, PFPC, and State Street. This market is still in its infancy with less than 10% of the total market outsourced, and many of these vendors remain unproven. This Note explores the challenges they face in penetrating the US market.
