Where will digital transformation go next? Discover the unknowns, challenges, and opportunities facing wealth management firms and take the next steps in your digital transformation journey.
Digital Transformation
In the face of intense pressure from new entrants and digital challengers, traditional wealth and asset management firms are battling legacy systems, scalability issues, and heightened customer expectations. Very few would disagree that digital transformation will remain a priority in the coming years, but can they keep up with the pace of change?
AI, Data & Automation
Deep-dive into the world of artificial intelligence. Explore how Wealth management firms are utilising revolutionary tech, maximising data and automating processes. In an AI-powered world, the opportunities are endless, but can wealth and asset management firms capitalise or will digital start-ups gain ground?
ESG & Sustainable Investing
ESG has been promoted to the top of the strategic agenda and many investors now prioritise sustainability. Whilst the challenges of this shift are plentiful, there are genuine business and economic opportunities available to those who get their ESG strategies right and can demonstrate this with data and emerging technology.
Customer Experience & Personalisation
In a world dominated by Netflix, Amazon, Google and other tech giants, the experiences offered to customers are crucial. For wealth management firms, developing a seamless digital journey and a personalised experience is almost non-negotiable. But succeeding in this key competitive battleground is easier said than done.
The Rise of Robo & Retail Investing
The expansion of robo-advisory in Wealth Management is having a dramatic impact on the sector. However, human interaction and trust still play a crucial role and hybrid advisory models are increasing in popularity. Explore this changing landscape at WTS 23 and learn how WM firms are adapting
Digital Culture & Future of Work
There’s more to digital transformation than technology. This year we’re shifting the focus from the tech to the people, exploring the working cultures that makes sense in today's world and the changing role of HR in wealth and asset management
WealthTech & Partnerships
WealthTech and robo investing have altered the status quo and continues to drive disruption across the sector. But how is the WealthTech landscape maturing? How are the incumbents reacting? And how will there be more partnerships between WealthTech startups and traditional players on the horizon?
Democratisation of Wealth
The past few years have seen a remarkable shift in the profile of investors. Investing apps are enabling more people to trade in global markets and the world's wealth is continuing to transfer to the next generation. How are wealth management firms managing this transition and are they meeting the demands of a changing investor demographic?
Web3 - Crypto, Blockchain & Metaverse
Web 3.0 is transforming the financial landscape and has the potential to greatly impact investing. Whether you're interested in the future of crypto, keen to explore the impact of NFTs or looking for blockchain use-cases, we’ve got the inside track on the hottest web 3.0 trends
Cyber Security & Fraud
Maintaining a robust cyber security strategy has always been a priority for wealth management firms, but in today's digital world, the cyber threat landscape is constantly evolving. WTS 23 will share the latest strategies to utilise technology and develop a holistic cyber security approach

Wealth Transformation Summit 2022

Loved by Previous Attendees

abrdn

“It was great! It was good to get different diverse opinions from people working in different parts of the Wealth Management industry and I much prefer a panel discussion to the kind of a set piece. I think it gives you the platform to have a good discussion as opposed to just talking at people.

Great to be out and about and to meet new people from different parts of the industry. It’s been a while since I’ve been to conferences, so a good reminder of what value you can get from these types of events.”

Paul Titterton, Managing Director - Digital Solutions, abrdn

“I think the event was great. I liked the focus of the summit which was on technology developments in the wealth management space and democratisation of wealth management in general, which I think are the hottest topics in that space today.”

Salim Mansoor, Global Head of Investment Compliance, Alternatives, Allianz Global Investors

Standard Chartered

“The event is great, really diverse collection of speakers, really informed conversations, the panels and some of the keynotes.

I think also the sponsors are quite unique. There’s a split between software as a service and unique propositions. Now I’ve gone around and spoken to quite a few individuals and companies and got follow up meetings and plans.

And I think that really helps because the whole purpose of these events is not only to hear from industry peers but also to know what services are out there and have a one to one conversation afterwards. That helps me in terms of my role of leading transformation to understand new solutions to new problems and segments."

Wasim Mushtaq, Transformation Lead, Financial Markets, Standard Chartered

And our Partners

“It’s great, I love the thought exchange we’re having here and we’re really tackling specific topics - What the future of transformation in wealth is going to look like. And you have a lot of tech here and you obviously have the banking here but we’re all going towards the same goal on how to create a better customer experience and how to transform the role wealth management companies are going to play in the future.

Job really well done so far, we’re enjoying it. It’s a great conglomerate of wealth firms, tech and service providers. We’ll definitely come back.”

Sarah Uhlfelder, VP Partner Sales EMEA, Nortonlifelock

“It’s a great event and I’m really glad to be here. Being on stage was great, good conversations to be had and good challenges to discuss.

The organisation’s been excellent here and putting on events after all this break it’s been quite difficult, but here actually they’ve nailed it.”

Dominic Stewart, Senior Director, Cloud Engineering, Oracle UK

“I think it’s been great fun. It’s been a very energetic, very engaging event

We’ve had some brilliant speakers who shared their ideas across the wealth management industry on a number of different teams and topics and being able to exchange those thoughts live, in person, just leads to so many interesting and spontaneous conversations which you can never do on a Zoom call.

And the best part that I am looking forward to is how these serendipitous conversations are going to progress in the future and potentially lead to market changing events.

Aditi Subbarao, Financial Services Industry Lead, Instabase
