UK Asset Management Market Trends:

Economic Recovery and Growth

The UK asset management market's growth is significantly driven by the ongoing economic recovery. For instance, according to industry reports, it is projected that the UK GDP is expected to increase by 1.7% in 2025 from 0.8% in 2024, supporting the ongoing economic recovery. As the economies across the globe have begun to stabilize, confidence among investors has recovered, propelling more activity in asset management. This recovery is characterized by a restoration to pre-pandemic economic factors, and its effects have boosted several sectors of the economy, including the financial markets. Higher consumer expenditure, improved business profits, and overall enhancement of financial stability are the consequences of the economic growth revival. Consequently, investors will be more inclined to invest in asset management solutions to capitalize on growth opportunities in numerous asset classes. Low interest rates have also been a feature of the recovery period, which has led investors to pursue greater returns in equities, real estate, and alternative assets compared to traditional fixed-income securities.

Growing Geriatric Population

The growing geriatric population in the UK is profoundly shaping the asset management market. For instance, as per industry reports, more than 10 million people in England are aged 65 and older, accounting for 18% of the population. As the demographic profile shifts towards geriatric population, there is a heightened need for investment solutions that cater to retirement planning and income generation. With rising life expectancy and a larger population approaching retirement age, there is a growing focus on ensuring financial security during retirement years. Asset management firms are responding to this demographic shift by developing products and strategies specifically designed for retirement planning, such as annuities, retirement funds, and income-generating investments.
