accelerando associates is a leading independent boutique consultancy providing bespoke strategic advice and research to asset management firms worldwide. Everything we do is centred around European fund distribution - across all European jurisdictions, distribution channels as well as all elements of proposition and communication. We put practice-relevance above all else and are fully dedicated to providing our clients with the utmost clarity and conviction necessary to make strategic as well as tactical decisions. In fact, our promise to our clients is as straight-forward as can be: Clarity, relevance and actionability. Our forward-thinking approach, much marked by intellect, eclecticism as well as curiosity, takes fresh, different and un-biased perspectives. In consequence, we are well known in the industry for identifying major distribution opportunities and challenges at early stages. We take particular pride in the high proportion of multi-year client relationships - including some of the world’s largest and Europe’s fastest growing asset managers - which are characterised by an unchallenged level of trust and open dialogue. Last but not least, our boutique structure enables us to truly tailor our services to very specific client requirements.
