Global capital markets firms are investing in technology themes such as data, platform, modernization, and experience to offset the challenges faced due to the evolving nature of consumer demands, complexity of regulatory landscape, sluggish growth, and the threat from niche financial technology firms (FinTechs). In a bid to contain costs, manage regulations, and grow their revenue base, capital markets enterprises are investing in utilities & platforms and exploring technologies such as Robotic Process Automation (RPA), blockchain, machine learning, cloud, and robo-advisory.
