Living Ratings featured in Financial Times’ Ignites Europe

Our latest Living Ratings of Asset Managers 2025 has been featured in the Financial Times’ Ignites Europe which covers the global investment management industry.

The article highlights this year’s findings and how the world’s leading asset managers are amplifying their brands through digital engagement and authentic storytelling. The piece features AllianceBernstein (AB), which took the top spot in our rankings, followed by State Street Investment Management, noting how both firms are setting new benchmarks for clarity, consistency and purpose online.

Ignites Europe quoted our analysis describing AB’s “steady digital evolution” as a “best-in-class experience that reflects both strategic intent and authentic brand expression.” State Street’s refreshed identity was also praised for “speaking with one volume, bold, and designed to engage all audiences with confidence and clarity.”

The article also referenced our broader insights on “determined” firms that combine strong functionality with clear, purposeful brand messaging, and the continued opportunity for others to raise their game in both engagement and evidence.
