  • Next-Gen Technology Transformation in Financial Services
    April 2020 Next-gen Technology transformation in Financial Services Introduction Financial Services technology is currently in the midst of a profound transformation, as CIOs and their teams prepare to embrace the next major phase of digital transformation. The challenge they face is significant: in a competitive environment of rising cost pressures, where rapid action and response is imperative, financial institutions must modernize their technology function to support expanded digitization of both the front and back ends of their businesses. Furthermore, the current COVID-19 situation is putting immense pressure on technology capabilities (e.g., remote working, new cyber-security threats) and requires CIOs to anticipate and prepare for the “next normal” (e.g., accelerated shift to digital channels). Most major financial institutions are well aware of the imperative for action and have embarked on the necessary transformation. However, it is early days—based on our experience, most are only at the beginning of their journey. And in addition to the pressures mentioned above, many are facing challenges in terms of funding, complexity, and talent availability. This collection of articles—gathered from our recent publishing on the theme of financial services technology—is intended to serve as a roadmap for executives tasked with ramping up technology innovation, increasing tech productivity, and modernizing their platforms. The articles are organized into three major themes: 1. Reimagine the role of technology to be a business and innovation partner 2. Reinvent technology delivery to drive a step change in productivity and speed 3. Future-proof the foundation by building flexible and secure platforms The pace of change in financial services technology—as with technology more broadly—leaves very little time for leaders to respond.

  • Wealth Management and Private Banking Connecting with Clients and Reinventing the Value Proposition 2015 Contents
    Wealth Management and Private Banking Connecting with clients and reinventing the value proposition 2015 Contents This document provides a perspective on the evolution of client value propositions in Wealth Management & Private Banking 3 Foreword 4 Scope and reach 6 Snapshot of key messages 8 Executive Summary 16 Strategic priorities 20 Products and services 26 Channels 36 Pricing 40 Our International Wealth Management & Private Banking practice at a glance 41 Our services 42 Key contributors 43 Contacts 2 Foreword Dear Readers, Deloitte and Efma are pleased to present you the results of our recent survey, providing a perspective on the evolution of client value propositions in Wealth Management and Private Banking. We invite you to consider the challenges facing the industry and how players are adapting their value proposition and connecting with clients in the new landscape. In the past few years, the Wealth Management and Private Banking industries have changed significantly. The financial crisis has increased investors’ sensitivity to risk, and the current low yield environment has made it more challenging to meet investors’ expectations of returns while limiting risk. In addition, the pressure for global tax transparency from governments around the world to crack down on tax evasion and tax fraud, has caused a significant shift from offshore to onshore wealth. The frontiers of demand are also being pushed beyond traditional borders, with emerging market players entering developed markets to follow their clients, and developed market players seeking growth outside of their home markets. This has resulted in volume losses (e.g. wealth repatriation) and/or decreased revenue margins as fiscal arbitrages have become obsolete and competition for onshore assets has increased.

  • Is Your Custodian Helping You Protect and Grow Your Wealth?
    ® Is your custodian helping you protect and grow your wealth? KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR SELECTING THE RIGHT CUSTODIAN INTRODUCTION The needs of worldly and wealthy individuals are evolving as their wealth becomes increasingly complex and global. More than ever before, individuals, families, and family offices are seeking investment, business, and real estate opportunities in many regions of the world and want access to a broader range of assets, currencies, and opportunities to help achieve their goals. In order to do so, they need the right resources to navigate various tax, regulatory, and legal requirements. This is transforming the role custodians play in centralizing access to information to help clients grow and protect their wealth. A custodian is a financial institution – typically a bank or brokerage firm - that holds, safeguards, and services its clients’ assets. Custodians are responsible for clearing and settling all trades and transactions, as well as reporting dividends and interest payments accrued from held assets. The world’s four largest custody banks had more than US$114 trillion in assets under custody and administration1 in 2018, a 10% increase from the prior year. But these are not the only providers, as there are a multitude of custodians around the world, each with their own model, 2 proposition, and fees. As a result, finding the right custodian can be challenging. A suitable custodian can provide asset safety benefits, effective tools to simplify viewing and accessing wealth information, and service and oversight services – freeing time to focus on other pressing issues. Selecting an unsuitable custodian, or having too many custodial relationships, may result in asset safety risks, higher costs, data quality errors, and many hours spent on administrative tasks.
