Digital innovation in capital markets

The capital markets landscape is evolving rapidly. Firms are seeking to accelerate the introduction of digital and automated services that will enable them to maintain pace and leadership in a highly competitive environment.

The emergence of the cloud, distributed ledger technology and artificial intelligence / machine learning is driving innovation across the industry. New and exciting opportunities are opening up for institutions to digitise and automate their products, services and workflows. Big data is coming into its own, both underpinning and driving these key technologies across a number of use cases ranging from trade pricing and execution, through post-trade processing and settlement, to research and asset management. We’re also seeing the rise of fintechs keen to leverage emerging technologies to disrupt the status quo – both as service providers to existing market participants, and competitors in their own right.
