Oft werde ich gefragt, ob unabh\u00e4ngige Verm\u00f6gensverwalter<\/a> verschwinden werden. In den meisten F\u00e4llen d\u00fcrfte der Wandel nicht so verlaufen. Statt zu verschwinden, werden sich viele Unternehmen eher gr\u00f6sseren Strukturen anschliessen. Wenn Nachfolge<\/a> -Fragen dr\u00e4ngender werden und die operative Komplexit\u00e4t w\u00e4chst, werden externe L\u00f6sungen relevanter. Dazu geh\u00f6ren Fusionen, Partnerschaften oder \u00dcbernahmen<\/a> durch gr\u00f6ssere unabh\u00e4ngige Plattformen sowie durch Private-Equity-gest\u00fctzte Strukturen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dieser Trend ist in der Verm\u00f6gensverwaltungsbranche<\/a>\u00a0bereits sichtbar. Gr\u00f6ssere Unternehmen \u00fcbernehmen zunehmend kleinere, w\u00e4hrend externe Investoren die Chance erkennen, einen nach wie vor fragmentierten Markt zu konsolidieren<\/a> . Das verschiebt die Marktstruktur schrittweise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Zahl der Unternehmen muss absolut gesehen nicht dramatisch sinken. Die Branche d\u00fcrfte sich aber konzentrieren \u2013 weniger, daf\u00fcr gr\u00f6ssere Akteure verwalten einen wachsenden Anteil des Verm\u00f6gens. Das ist kein Zeichen von Schw\u00e4che, sondern eine nat\u00fcrliche Entwicklung, wenn Branchen reifen und von der Zersplitterung zur Konsolidierung \u00fcbergehen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

F\u00fcr unabh\u00e4ngige Verm\u00f6gensverwalter heisst das: Gr\u00f6sse, Struktur und Nachfolgeplanung werden immer wichtiger. Gut vorbereitete Unternehmen werden Optionen haben. Wer nicht vorbereitet ist, sieht seine Optionen mit der Zeit schrumpfen. Die entscheidende Frage ist daher nicht, ob Unternehmen verschwinden, sondern wie viele unabh\u00e4ngig bleiben.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

People often ask whether independent wealth managers will disappear. In most cases, this is unlikely to be how the transition unfolds. Rather than disappearing, many firms will more likely join larger structures. As succession challenges increase and operational complexity grows, external solutions become more relevant.
