"Our focus is to advise large established players how to take advantage of the fintech revolution"
Her keynote speech was about the fintech impact on the two sectors of asset management and trading. Susanne highlighted and discussed two disruptive trends in asset management, namely the empowerment of investors via social and algorithmic trading, and process actualization.
She presented four case studies of fintech companies - two focused on asset management and two that are based in trading. She used these examples as in-depth case studies to analyse how fintech is disrupting the financial industry.
She discussed "The FINTECH Book", a collaborative project which she initiated after attempting to purchase a book about the $20 billion fintech industry and realizing, to her amazement, that not one book had been written about it.
"I think that asset management and trading are being disrupted by fintech in a very positive way, we see companies developing solutions which really help asset managers to be more productive, to lower their cost base, to acquire customers in a more automated way, which is better for the whole industry."
