ACTIVE management is having a moment in Asia-Pacific – not because markets are calm (they are not) but because an overwhelming majority of institutional investors and wealth managers across the region are confident it can help them navigate what comes next.
The more interesting question is why.
Schroders’ latest Global Investor Insights Survey 2026, which covered more than 1,000 institutional investors, wealth managers and intermediaries worldwide – including 245 from Apac – found that 86 per cent from the region are confident that active management can help them achieve their investment objectives over the next 12 to 18 months.
