The industry is dealing with concerns around trust and increasing clarity around charges. A gender and pay gap around professionals working in the industry is starting to gain attention. The maturing of millennials and anticipation of the generation coming after is causing many investment managers to look at alternative ways to meet the needs of a new and growing customer base. And, of course, regulation is always a factor. Not just regulation in isolation, but in combination with customer demands and technology drivers. All of these factors mean that investment management is ripe and screaming out for transformation.

Finextra, in association with IBM, invites you to an exclusive breakfast roundtable where industry thought leaders will discuss the future of the investment management industry and the possibilities for harnessing digital change. The breakfast will be held at 1 Lombard Street in the heart of the City of London and will feature presentations from industry experts and market participants. Confirmed guest speakers currently include:

• Moderator: Elizabeth Lumley, Special Projects Editor, Finextra
• Bharat Bhushan, Industry Architect, Banking and Financial Markets, IBM
• Clare Flynn Levy, CEO, Essentia Analytics

The presentations will be followed by a moderated roundtable discussion where we will debate:

• Disruptive technology themes in the industry to deliver investment objectives, customer needs and the regulatory ask
• What impact will the new generation of investors have on the industry?
• How can the industry better use data to serve digital-savvy clients?
• The impact of new market entrants and the alternative finance market on the traditional investment management industry
