With the coronavirus outbreak underlining the success of remote working arrangements, asset managers may start tapping into stay-at-home talent, according to the Investment Management Association of Singapore.
Flexible work arrangements at asset managers will become more commonplace, and previously untapped talent pools that require work-from-home models could have a greater shot at getting hired, the association’s deputy chairman, Eleanor Seet, said in an interview. That could include “working parents and stay-at-home moms, and could expand to include other caregivers,” she added.
