In our wealth and asset management work today, not everything is innovation; a lot of it is evolution.

And it’s important to know the difference. FinTech disruptors continue to shift the rules, newer investors aren’t flocking to older channels and cost pressure is relentless. From data and AI to tech platforms and partners, the questions have never been bigger, and the stakes have never been higher.

At EY, we help clients re-think everything from pricing and operating models to competition and convergence. We bring critical questions into focus, which lead to bolder strategies, simplified operations, and sustainable growth. Our sharp understanding of the state of play allows us to shift discussion from reacting to change, to helping shape it. Ultimately, we work with clients not just to stay competitive, but to change investing for the better.
