Compliance and regulation never get simpler or less onerous, and certainly not in the globalised world of wealth management. Banks and other wealth management institutions and disruptors have been facing a tsunami of new rules, tighter surveillance, and heftier punishments for transgressions. The onus is on them to ensure that they are not only compliant as a corporate entity but that their clients and their staff, from mailperson to CEO, are as well. RegTech and FinTech players are honing their solutions at the same time as the banks and other key product and advisory providers are improving their strategies and approaches. The Hubbis Digital Dialogue of January 20 will delve deeply into all these key trends and assess what developments the wealth industry should be expecting in the months and years ahead and how they might be able to cope with what are surely additional demands and higher compliance costs.

It will not be easy. The sudden arrival of the Omicron Covid-19 variant has again dashed hopes of a greater normalisation of travel, leisure and business connectivity in the near term. Accordingly, challenged compliance and legal teams and advisors will need to continue to manage teams and oversee colleagues working in disparate locations rather than in one office environment. But at least the Asian private banking and wealth management industry has gone through various degrees of recalibration and strategic rethinking since the onset of the pandemic, digitisation has raced ahead, new software solutions have arrived or perhaps been refined. Nevertheless, the pace of evolution cannot slow, as one thing that has not changed is the relentless rollout of regulations across the globe, as seemingly nothing will halt the drive to regulate at local, regional and global levels.

    • Are privacy, security and cyber hygiene an insurmountable challenge when most of the industry is working remotely?
