Commenting on the recent FCA Asset Management Market study, O’Shea said: “We believe that against a background of market uncertainty, low interest rates and the ongoing need for people to invest for growth, income or capital preservation, the value of good, active management is critical.
“We continue to believe that our strategy of offering relevant investment products, which are designed to meet the different long‐term needs of UK investors, backed by good investment outcomes after charges, a strong distribution capability and scalable operating platform, positions us well to deliver for both our clients and our shareholders.”
