Every year Financial News brings together a group of asset management chief executives in a roundtable discussion to gauge their views on the health of the industry. The panel also discussed the results of FN’s annual CEO Snapshot Survey, in which we ask asset management chief executives about their biggest concerns, where they expect to find new business and what they see as the big drivers for growth.

Two of their top concerns lie outside their control: the ongoing crisis in the eurozone and the growing roster of regulatory initiatives. They recognise that both the crisis and impending regulations have unknown outcomes, but have the potential to fundamentally change the landscape of the asset management industry.
