The rapid advancement of financial technology (fintech) has brought about disruptive innovations that are reshaping nearly every aspect of financial services.

While the private banking and wealth management industry is moving to prepare itself for increased digitization, the emergence of new fintech players are posing a threat to the industry’s existing operational practices and mechanisms.

Adaptability is key. Private banks and wealth managers that can adapt to changing technology are winners in a digital revolution.

The Asset, in association with Avaloq, presents an exclusive roundtable, which will discuss the challenges, opportunities and ways by which private banks can integrate fintech “disruption” into their business models and customer engagement.
