Asset management "buzzwords"


An out of the box survey was presented in CIO magazine which gauged the opinion of asset managers on the "buzzwords" that will stay with the industry. It would be an interesting game to determine what you would consider is an asset management buzzword. More importantly, is finding out what asset managers think about some of the new concepts of finance.

Some of the biggest buzzword fads include:

  • Smart beta 
  • Risk factors
  • Direct Investing 
  • Risk Parity 
  • Strategic Partnerships.

How many of these will stand the test of time or will they become the Chia pets of finance. If I had one to move over to the long-term term column, it would be risk parity. We will see in a few years.
