Rebrands, rankings and new rivals. Living Ratings of Asset Managers 2025

Over 350 financial marketers joined us today for the launch of Living Ratings of Asset Managers 2025 – our definitive research report analysing the brand and digital intelligence of the world’s leading firms.

Presented by Living’s CEO, Kate Shaw, in partnership with the Financial Communications Society (FCS), this year’s launch featured a deep dive into the underlying data, as well as the key themes and trends shaping the industry in 2025.

The event continued with the reveal of this year’s Top 20 asset managers, followed by a panel discussion moderated by Duncan Shaw, Living’s Chief Creative Officer, with brand and marketing experts from Carlyle Group, Neuberger Berman, and State Street Investment Management.

Rebrand, refocus

In a year when nearly 10% of firms have undergone a rebrand or brand repositioning, according to our Ratings data, it’s clear the industry is pivoting to pursue new opportunities and audiences – while also responding to fresh competition from the Private Equity and Alternatives sectors.
