Your participation in the 15th annual BEE.conomics Transformation in South African Asset Management Survey 2023 begins here. If you are a qualifying asset manager and have not received the questionnaire/s please email bee.conomics@27four.com
Firms that operate in both public and private markets must submit both questionnaires and provide information specific to each business unit.
The annual survey has earned its position as the foremost source of reliable data on transformation trends in the South African asset management subsector. It is widely referenced by asset owners, asset consultants, asset managers and policy makers. The study gathers valuable information from industry participants and publishes the most comprehensive review of the industry.
We recommend that you start the questionnaire sooner rather than later and fill in details you have now and others when they become available to you.
