The outsourced chief investment officer (OCIO) market is strong, with significant new opportunities for mandate wins and expansion in services from new or existing clients. About one out of four asset owners polled by Cerulli expect to use an OCIO in some capacity over the next 24 months.
Many market forces are driving demand from the OCIO model—inflation, interest rate hikes, market volatility, geopolitical uncertainty. As asset owners seek protection from inflation, they are looking for OCIOs that provide specialized experience in managing asset classes for which they do not think they have the appropriate level of expertise. These include emerging markets debt, private debt, infrastructure, and various real estate investments. Alternative asset managers could find strong opportunity to partner with OCIO providers for mandate wins.
Our latest report, U.S. Outsourced Chief Investment Officer Function 2022: Industry Efforts for Standardization Kick Into High Gear, provides in-depth analysis of this trend as well as full market sizing forces of growth, demand and needs across client segments, use of OCIO search consultants, and the various challenges facing providers.
