The past few years have been a tough time for the funds industry, with fund managers facing restricted financing, depressed returns, investor discontent and a hostile regulatory environment. Despite the difficulties, opportunities still present themselves in the market and in the past year deal activity has started to build again. Further, the emerging markets, relatively untouched by economic turmoil, present additional openings for investment. Fund managers, however, have had to adapt and adopt new strategies to make the most of opportunities in the current climate, and accommodate their shifting relationship with investors. As the months roll on, experts believe the market will be divided between those that succeed by adapting to a new framework of increased communication, compliance and transparency, and those that fall short.
