Executive Summary
Objectives
This research explores the importance of leadership in driving job satisfaction, staff retention and staff output within the UK’s boutique asset management sector. It also analyses how leadership manifests itself in practice, how different stakeholders view leadership, and how
this influences their approach to leadership and its development. Finally, this report consolidates these findings to establish 11 practical steps which boutiques can take to enhance leadership capabilities within their organisations.
Purpose
Understanding how leadership is approached across boutiques may provide insight into the reasons for which boutiques generally perform better than their non-boutique peers, why certain boutiques succeed and some fail amongst their boutique peer-group and how boutiques can enhance their leadership capabilities to increase their results and longevity. It is understood that no such academic research has been conducted on the UK’s boutique asset management prior to the publication of this research.
