Philippe Laurensy, our Head of Group Strategy, Product Management and Innovation, was a featured panellist discussing the topic ‘The future of custody: has the transition really take place?’ at the Global Custodian 35 Industry Discussion Forum 2024.
As the securities services industry embarks on a transformative journey, questions about the path and timeframe to a new era of asset servicing are at the forefront of discussion. Philippe, alongside other industry leaders, delved into these pressing topics, exploring the roadmap to an envisioned digital future.
Key themes that were discussed
- What trends and technologies will shape the future and where do we stand today? Touching on AI, tokenisation, cloud technology and more.
- How will we get to the digital future we are envisioning? What could the journey look like?
- Tokenisation is undeniably going to play a part in the future, but what is the next step for the industry in 2024 to take that leap from notion to reality?
- Experts gave their reaction to the T+1 transition just two days after go-live and how Europe and the rest of the world will be following the results carefully.
- How will the industry retain, attract and develop talent to build the industry in the future and will the required skill set change?
- How will the way custodians deliver data change in the future? What new tools around processing and analytics are coming to the fore, and how are they changing relationships and the way data is shared?
- How might relationships between global and sub-custodians change in the future?
This event provided a great opportunity to hear from Philippe and other leading voices from the worlds of global custody, sub-custody and market infrastructure.
