Companies, investment houses and family offices, among others, are outsourcing more investment to third parties, widening their geographic reach and taking other steps to reduce risk exposures as geopolitical volatility increases.
Economic and geopolitical risks are boosting organisations such as family offices, companies and others to outsource more investment and business to experts and spread exposure, a study finds.
The findings come in research from Ocorian, which provides services to financial institutions, asset managers, corporates and HNW individuals.
Some 52 per cent of organisations said they have already increased their areas of focus for investments to mitigate risks; 49 per cent have farmed out more to third parties to capture expertise.
The fieldwork for the study captured responses from the European Union, UK, US, Canada, South Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Ocorian commissioned independent research company Pureprofile to conduct a global study of 300 senior executives during October last year.
