Touching down in New York! 🛬 I'm thrilled to be back in the city for an action-packed day at the FinTech Global WealthTech Summit. The real excitement begins tomorrow morning at 9:30 AM, as I take the stage for a keynote panel discussion on digital transformation in #wealth management. If that isn't enough, at 10:20 AM, I'll be presenting on how TaxStatus fits seamlessly into wealth advisory. If you'll be attending, be sure to stop by and say hello! #wealthtech #fintech #cfp #cfa #financialplanning

🌐 At Money20/20 Asia last week, it was great to connect with Rene Michau, Global Head of Digital Assets at Standard Chartered. Rene provided an update on what he was seeing in the digital asset and decentralized finance (#DeFi) landscape, articulating the emerging trends and the significant transformative potential of digital assets in the financial sector. As the financial world tilts towards more innovative and autonomous solutions, Rene's insights are especially pertinent. His analysis not only highlights the growth opportunities within DeFi but also underscores the need for robust regulatory frameworks to harness these advancements responsibly.

Our second panel discussion covered the transformative potential of bond digitalisation. While the pace of issuance is building steadily, the panel still agreed the road ahead for bond digitalisation should be approached methodically, with care and caution in order to keep in lockstep with regulators appreciation and understanding of this profound 'shift in mentality'. Moderator and panellists: Gabriel Callsen, Director, FinTech and Digitalisation, ICMA - International Capital Market Association Fanny Palmieri, ESES Legal Team Manager, Euroclear  Deborah Smith, Executive Director / Senior Counsel, Digital Assets Legal, Goldman Sachs Alexander Tollast, Counsel, Finance & Capital Markets, Clifford Chance #fintech #capitalmarkets #fixedincome #distributedledgertechnology

Yesterday our Head of Distribution, Stuart McGlynn chaired a panel at the FinTech Global Global WealthTech Summit on how wealth managers can differentiate their private market offering. The session delved into a number of topics, including how recent market conditions have impacted alternative investment allocations and how technology can empower wealth management firms to deliver alternative asset classes. Thank you to Zeynep Ozturk of Deutsche Bank and Thor Monsen of Citi Global Wealth for leading the discussions on the democratisation of Private Markets in Wealth Management. Thank you also to those who helped bring our panel to life with their engagement during and after the session. #GWTS23 #WealthTech #FinTech #PrivateEquity #WealthManagement #PrivateBanking #PrivateMarkets
