2015: Trends Shaping the Asset Management Industry's Future
In addition, the gap between bank and insurer valuations, on the one hand, and those of asset management firms on the other, will make it harder for banks and insurers to compete for beneficial deals, McKinsey said. Before firms can achieve that, they need convictions, based on solid foundations, to make the necessary investments in their firms. Independent asset management firms will control two-thirds of industry AUM by 2015, McKinsey predicted. McKinsey developed seven predictions, based on its research, to assist firms deciding how to commit resources toward profitable expansion. Also, compensation practices at banks and insurance firms will make it harder for them to recruit capable managers. That ratio should increase to 13% by 2015, and alternative assets as a portion of revenues will be 25%, McKinsey predicted.How Gemini Consulting, the one-time McKinsey killer, shot itself ...

In the mid 1990’s Gemini Consulting was a darling of the industry....
Six McKinsey Predictions For China in 2011 | China Bystander
Gordon Orr, a director in the Shanghai office of McKinsey, a firm of management consultants, makes six predictions for China in 2011 . Inflation in food prices will take longer than expected to control. This Bystander likes (in the sense of agrees with) 1, 3 and 5 (though this one is a bit of a cheat for 2011), but is less convinced by 2, 4 and 6. The short-term social disharmony they imply wouldn’t be tolerated in what is looking to be a critical and not always easy year for China’s development. Minimum wages will rise, but productivity gains will outstrip labor costs. China will step up its “invest out” program in the new five-year plan.
