ETFs, SWFs and DC are growth channels
ETFs are the main high growth channel at 12+%, SWFs at 6-8%, all other channels <4%
 Global AUM organic growth of 1.5% to 2.0% from ‘12-’14
 Mutual funds and pensions account for 70% of global AUM, but continuing subdued growth
 ETFs are expected to continue growing at a double digit pace (12-14%) over the next 3-5 years driven by both
continued adoption and the switch to passive
 SWFs will benefit from continued demand for resources
