In the investment management space, the fierce battle for talent impacts everyone from private equity to hedge funds. Emerging technologies are quickly splitting up institutions between those that are profitable and efficient and those that are not.

Technology will be a key deciding factor for top talent zeroing in on careers at organizations that offer the latest advancements. So how can investment firms prioritize technologies alongside talent?
