Policy interest rates in the U.S. and Europe are forecasted to decrease gradually between 2024 and 2027, following exceptional increases triggered by soaring inflation between 2021 and 2023. The U.S. federal funds rate stood at 5.38 percent at the end of 2023, the European Central Bank deposit rate at four percent, and the Swiss National Bank policy rate at 1.75 percent. With inflationary pressures stabilizing, policy interest rates are forecast to decrease in each observed region. The U.S. federal funds rate is expected to decrease to 3.5 percent, the ECB refi rate to 2.65 percent, the Bank of England bank rate to 3.33 percent, and the Swiss National Bank policy rate to 0.75 percent by 2025. An interesting aspect to note is the impact of these interest rate changes on various economic factors such as growth, employment, and inflation. The impact of central bank policy rates The U.S. federal funds effective rate, crucial in determining the interest rate paid by depository institutions, experienced drastic changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The subsequent slight changes in the effective rate reflected the efforts to stimulate the economy and manage economic factors such as inflation. Such fluctuations in the federal funds rate have had a significant impact on the overall economy. The European Central Bank's decision to cut its fixed interest rate in June 2024 for the first time since 2016 marked a significant shift in attitude towards economic conditions. The reasons behind the fluctuations in the ECB's interest rate reflect its mandate to ensure price stability and manage inflation, shedding light on the complex interplay between interest rates and economic factors. Inflation and real interest rates The relationship between inflation and interest rates is critical in understanding the actions of central banks. Central banks' efforts to manage inflation through interest rate adjustments reveal the intricate balance between economic growth and inflation. Additionally, the concept of real interest rates, adjusted for inflation, provides valuable insights into the impact of inflation on the economy.

In the last five years, the industry has experienced countervailing trends. For most of the period, rising assets under management (AUM) due to rising asset prices and growing disposable income have increased the base of assets industry operators charge fees on. Increased investor preference for passive asset management, including through exchange-traded funds (ETFs), has driven expenses charged for the management of assets down during the period. Financial markets play an integral role in AUM growth and, consequently, base and performance fees earned by managers. Growth in financial markets was supported by vital macroeconomic variables rising during the majority of the current period, including employment and disposable income levels. Market indices, such as the S&P 500, demonstrated strong growth as these variables increased. In addition, interest rates have climbed significantly over the past five years, which has increased interest income from fixed-income securities such as bonds, although interest rates have been slashed in the latter part of the current period. As interest rates fall, investment funds will shift from fixed-income securities into equities. Portfolio management and investment advice revenue has grown at a CAGR of 6.4% to $579.1 billion over the past five years, including a 3.4% rise in 2025 alone. However, profit has fallen slightly to 29.9% of revenue in the same year. Portfolio management and investment advice revenue are expected to climb at a CAGR of 2.7% to $661.3 billion over the five years to 2030. The beginning of the outlook period is expected to be marred by the anticipated rate cuts by the Federal Reserve as inflationary pressures continue to ease. The FED will monitor inflation, employment, potential tariffs and other economic factors before cutting interest rates at the onset of the outlook period. Customer preferences towards low to zero fees will persist, forcing the portfolio management and investment advising industry to change.
