How APIs can unlock huge value for banks and their treasury customers

When corporate and banking institution systems communicate, it’s all about easier, faster, and more. Data is the product, and Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs) are becoming the ‘golden key’ to sharing it for accounts, transactions, and reporting on both.

Christian Kent Managing Director, Financial Services & Technology at Houlihan Lokey

Can the wealth management industry embrace technology in the race for alternatives?

Individual investors hold 50% of the estimated $280 trillion of global assets under management, though their allocation to private capital is just 16% and, in some segments, materially lower. Until recently, private investors had scorned greater allocation due to structural barriers: high minimum investment thresholds, the need and expectation of ...

Is the future of the wealth management industry here?

If I were ask you to conjure up an image of the wealth management industry, it would come as little surprise if you were to describe wood panelled offices and pinstriped suits. To describe the sector as one of the most traditional within the City of London’s Square Mile, whether that reputation was deserved or not, certainly until a few years ago,...

Six questions to ask yourself on investment risk

It is easy to be seduced by the potential upside for an investment. If the market for electric cars is growing, surely Tesla is a good investment? Or if stay-at-home fitness is the latest trend, Peloton shares are likely to fly. If inflation is soaring, gold must be a good bet, or if interest rates are rising, it’s the time to buy banks. This migh...

Regular vs lump-sum investing: Which is right for you?

Choosing whether to invest larger sums infrequently, or smaller sums frequently, may not seem like an important decision, but each approach can lead to profoundly different results.

Taking control of your money: Cash might feel reassuring but growth means investing

Marco Mottadelli Head of Global Brokerage at Fineco Bank

Taking control of your money: Cash might feel reassuring but growth means investing

Cash can be comforting; put £10,000 in a savings account and when you need it, you’ll get £10,000 back, possibly with a little interest. Against this apparent stability, it’s perhaps understandable that people don’t want to take a chance on an unpredictable stock market, where the value of your money can depend on everything from interest rates to...
