Reshaping the Investment Model: Challenges and Shifts for EMEA Asset Owners with Mark Austin

The pressure on asset owners is mounting, but so is their influence.  

With shifting regulations, growing data demands, and interest in alternatives, institutional investors across EMEA are being pushed to rethink their strategies from the ground up.

In this episode, host Paul Fahey chats with Mark Austin, Pensions and Insurance Executive, EMEA at Northern Trust, to explore findings from Northern Trust’s global asset owner peer study, “Asset Owners in Focus”. They discuss rising priorities such as liquidity, outsourcing, and data integration, and examine how shifting expectations are redefining strategy in the pension and insurance space across EMEA.

Mark discusses:

  • How asset owners are rethinking liquidity needs amid volatility and alternative investments
  • The growing demand for integrated, timely, and accurate data to support portfolio decisions
  • The evolving role of outsourcing in driving efficiency and value recognition
  • Government-driven consolidation in the UK pension space and its operational consequences
  • Why asset owners are beginning to shape pricing and dictate terms with asset managers and other providers
