GC in 60 minutes
Global Custodian will host one 60 minute panel with leaders from the global custody and securities services industry, to give an eagle-eye view of the key trends and challenges facing market participants.
Taking place at Simpson’s-in-the-Strand on March 15, prior to Global Custodian’s annual Leaders in Custody awards dinner at The Savoy in London, the panel will serve as a preview to a full day event Global Custodian will host in May.
Panellist speakers include:
Joe Parsons, deputy editor, Global Custodian (moderator)
Alan Cameron, head of broker market strategy, BNP Paribas Securities Services
Sanjiv Sawhney, global head of custody and fund services, Citi
Jane Karczewski, head of global custody, HSBC
Matthew Davey, head of business solutions, Societe Generale Securities Services
Topics to be discussed include:
• Changes at the client level, how they impact custody offering
What is changing at the client level for asset managers, and how is this changing client services?
• Servicing new asset classes
The surge in uptake of passive investing has resulted in ETFs becoming one of the dominant asset classes for the buy-side, and could has set the next battleground for custodians. Meanwhile questions about cryptocurrency servicing are now on the table? And the move to private equity and real estate funds are driving new outsourcing models. How are custodians gearing up to service these new asset classes?
• Artificial intelligence
Everyone’s experimenting with artificial intelligence, but what benefits could it bring? What proof of concepts are securities services firms working on and what kind of developments are they seeing? Our panellists discuss different aspects of AI and its benefits.
• Recruiting the right and best talent
From technology experts to data scientists, securities services firms are looking at a new breed of talent, but how will they lure them in and what competition do they face?
• Pricing of risk
As regulations and infrastructure change, are clients still paying the right price? Have securities services firms had to reassess their pricing structures?
