Despite job cuts in the asset management industry, specialists are still in demand

Despite some reports of job cuts, the labor market in asset management remains surprisingly stable. While companies such as Union Investment, Metzler and Axa are cutting jobs, the demand for certain specialists remains high. Specialists in the areas of digitalization, sustainability and sales are particularly in demand. Although some asset managers are reducing their workforce, they are also investing in future-oriented areas. A recent BVI survey shows that many companies are still planning to create new jobs. There are therefore still good career opportunities in the industry, especially for IT and ESG specialists.

The article “Stellenweise gefragt” – published in Fondsprofessionell Magazine 4/2023 describes the current situation on the labor market in the asset management sector, where there is still demand for specialists despite some job cuts.
