WealthTECH - powering a new era for the asset and wealth management industry: The world of wealth management, is undergoing unprecedented change. Wealth and asset managers as well as private bankers are needing to respond to pressure from a multitude of sources - regulation, cost pressure, changing customer preferences and shifting demographics. Innovation in product and service delivery needs to be uncompromising in order to satisfy the needs of future generation clients. New technology based competitors are entering the market to capture inefficiencies in the value chain. Wealth managers must differentiate themselves with outstanding customer knowledge and tailor-made solutions instead of standardised products. Product innovation is a thing of the past - service innovation through technology is powering the new business models and a new era for the AWM industry. In addition I'd also like to offer you a talk about the Hyperledger Blockchain Technology where I'm author on the first german Book about the topic. Hyperledger is very relevant for banking and the only open blockchain technology addressing enterprise needs (in constrast to Ethereum).
