Lacher Asset Management and Consultancy

Strategy and Growth: At Lacher, our mission is to connect an asset management firm's strategy with its growth objectives and corporate ambitions. With a proven track record, we have successfully assisted clients in achieving their organic and inorganic growth targets while re-evaluating their strategies.

Marketing and Sales: Asset managers are facing shrinking margins, which has made focusing on both the bottom line and top line increasingly challenging. We understand this pain point and help clients prioritize revenue enhancement drivers, including pricing, distribution, and sales force effectiveness.

Investment Management: The key to success for every asset and wealth management company lies in value creation through investment management. Lacher utilizes advanced analytics, streamlines the investment management organization and operating model, and implements innovative methods to improve investment outcomes.

IT, Operations, and Support: While new tools and technologies offer operational efficiency, asset management firms encounter internal obstacles such as legacy systems and siloed operations, as well as the external threat of cyber attacks. Lacher revamps technology strategies and transforms operations and back-office functions, enabling firms to leverage data more effectively and work in a more agile manner.

Transformation: Business transformation is challenging for asset managers due to various obstacles they face. At Lacher, we assist clients in driving transformational change across the value chain. This empowers organizations to grow, gain a competitive advantage, and achieve bottom-line impact.

Our Clients' Success in Asset Management:

Working with a leading global asset manager, Lacher conducted working sessions to prioritize cost-saving opportunities and determine their potential impact on the budget. Together, we identified a target savings of 16%, which was successfully implemented within two years.

We have helped numerous clients implement a firmwide transformation by defining roles more clearly and aligning them with business needs. This reorganization resulted in substantial cost savings through a 20-25% reduction in managerial roles.

To address profitability pressures, BCG collaborated with a large US asset manager operating within a boutique business model. By understanding the current state and designing the future state of support functions across subsidiaries, we achieved a remarkable $100 million in savings within two years.
