The global asset management industry has never been better served than it is right now from third-party technology providers offering a range of cloud based tools and services. The findings from this 13-question survey are based on responses from 50 senior technology and operations staff at primarily buy-side firms across a variety of locations. Respondents from WatersTechnology’s database were invited to participate in the study and were not hand-picked according to size, function, which side of the industry they sit on, or location, to avoid confirmation bias.
