Global Investor Explores Fintech Fads

Global Investor weighs in on the #fintech fad in Fintech Finds It Feet where they explore emerging technologies in regtech, robo-advisors, and blockchain. While they acknowledge underlying frustrations with the pace of innovation to-date, they believe it's clear that the financial technology revolution can not be ignored. Among other topics, Steve Young weighs in on robo-advisors, "The utilisation of analytical tools has long been established in areas of portfolio management, but will spread into wider areas of the business, from sales and marketing through to operations and this will allow firms to both better manage existing operations and also better model and predict future business in order to be prepared and aligned."
