The dynamic topics below are the Asset Managers Tech 10/29/19 Roundtable "Agenda Items":

EVERY BUSINESS WILL CHANGE: Every business will more than likely change, modern technology is simply propelling the process.

NEW IT PARADIGM: Tech experts, such as heads of IT, provide focused explanations concerning how the digital transformation is being applied in the asset management business.

COST CURVE AHEAD OF FEE COMPRESSION: The goal concerning the tech movement is to keep the cost curve ahead of a possible fee compression. So it helps asset managers to look for opportunities in their adjacent businesses, such as custody or securities valuation services.

PACE OF TECH CHANGE: The pace of technological change is accelerating, so it is necessary for asset managers to keep up with this pace in every aspect of the business. This includes not only fund investing, but also services such as retirement and benefits solutions.

TECH TOOLS TO CUSTOMERS: Today's tech movement also entails investment managers' offering new "tech tools" to customers, such as "reporting services" to be used by financial advisers or hedge funds.

CHANGING THE WAY WE WORK: Regarding asset managers' own businesses, it is typically not enough to just use modern technology. It is appropriate in some instances for firms to change how they work. For example, setting up 'hot desks", meaning squads of 5 to 10 workers in lieu of cubicles.

NEW IDEAS: Finally, one by-product of evaluating technology is the opportunity to see something totally new that an investment manager might have missed without looking at tech alternatives.
