Sir Douglas Flint CBE
“Last year, many of the headwinds facing active asset managers grew stronger, accelerating our drive to reshape abrdn to be more resilient within and across economic cycles. We enter 2024 with a clear plan of what we need to do to build a sustainable business with good growth prospects and an efficient cost structure. Proximity to the end consumer and an understanding of their investment preferences and the route through which they choose to invest will be critical. abrdn is well positioned for this evolution in terms of the mix of our businesses and the talent and financial resources needed to succeed.”
Sir Douglas Flint CBE
