Why the UK?

The UK remains one of the largest, most diverse, and globally connected centres of financial services in the world. It is home to a leading investment management centre and supporting ecosystem that have developed over many years.

It is the second largest investment management centre in the world, accounting for approximately 12% of global assets under management (AUM), outranking the next two largest European countries combined. Assets are managed for clients at home and overseas, and a large number of overseas investors already operate offices in London and other cities.

In the UK, asset owners and managers have access to a large market, world-class talent, and a thriving professional services ecosystem. London is one of the world's few truly global cities, a place that celebrates diversity and incubates innovation. 

Whether you are looking for investment opportunities, or you are looking to expand your overseas footprint, the UK has an extremely compelling proposition, and we welcome you.
