Evolving nature of consumer demands, complexity of regulatory landscape, sluggish growth, and the threat from next-generation Financial Technology firms (FinTechs) are the key challenges being faced by capital markets enterprises. These challenges have forced them to revisit their business models, launch innovative products, and redefine the way in which they individually interact with their customers.

Global capital markets firms are investing in digital technologies across data, platform, and experience, to offset the above-mentioned challenges. They are simultaneously achieving desired business outcomes such as cost containment, transparency, modernization, flexibility, and agility. In a bid to drive innovation and define regulatory standards for emerging technologies, capital markets ecosystem players (capital markets enterprises, service providers, technology product vendors, FinTechs, RegTechs, regulators & governing bodies, and consortiums) are actively forming partnerships and alliances.

Sell-side capital markets firms utilize digital technologies to enhance their ability to generate targeted insights across products, markets, and customers.
