Meeting the challenges as the sector matures
Talented individuals, by definition, are in short supply. They are the lifeblood of investment firms,driving performance returns, sales and operational efficiency. Their contribution has particular significance in alternative investment companies, which depend largely on the ingenuity, know-how and tenacity of their people. Hedge funds, private equity firms, real estate firms, investment banks and traditional fund management firms all vie for the best alternative investment exponents to satisfy the high expectations of their clients.
This paper, the third in a series focusing on talent management within the financial services industry, is written by
Ron Collard, Chris Box, Pars Purewal, Robert Mellor and Graham Phillips and looks at the business issues, the issues of alternative talent at risk and how to tackle them, how lack of succession planning can harm the brand and how to retain talent and grow the business over the long term.
