Over the past decade, the asset management industry experienced rapid growth, largely due to equity markets. The S&P 500* averaged a 10% annualised return over the past 90 years, ~7.5% (2001-21) and ~16.5% (2011-21). In the ten years ending 2022, inclusive of last year’s challenges, the index averaged 12.7%, almost 30% above the 90-year trend.**
