The role of digital transformation in improving the value proposition to financial services clients in a post-COVID-19 world

Japan is at an inflection point in its adoption of innovative digital financial services solutions, and at the same time we are seeing significant changes in how clients want to receive information, be advised, and invest. The ongoing COVID-19 crisis is accelerating many of these trends.

How should your firm approach this time of unprecedented change and opportunity? What tools and solutions are available to help you navigate the challenges and provide the services your clients are looking for, before your competitors can react?

We invite you to join us in a free webinar where EY Japan, together with innovative digital platform providers Finantix and Visual Alpha, will discuss the following topics:

  • Recent trends in wealth and asset management and demand for digital advice & transactions
  • The importance of client-centricity and digital platforms to deliver more meaningful, more personalized, and more efficient services to your clients
  • Using artificial intelligence and machine learning to increase the personalization and the relevance of investment advice and client recommendations
  • Digital transformation one step at the time: integrating across systems a modular, scalable and future proof platform
  • The advent of cloud-based services for superior and cost-effective client reporting solutions:

    - Providing asset owners with simplified reporting tools to automate performance and risk monitoring
    -Providing asset managers with a platform to help reduce the cost of producing customized Excel client reports
