The Technical Revolution in Financial Services with
Dr. Michael King

Join the Vancouver Island Advocis Chapter on Wednesday, January 27, 2021, at 1:00 P.M. (PST)  for our The Technical Revolution in Financial Services webinar featuring Dr. Michael King.

Professor Michael R. King CFA will be discussing themes from his new book, The Technical Revolution in Financial Services. Join us as he shares insights from the expert contributors to this edited volume, and summarizes the key conclusions.

The financial services industry is being transformed by heightened regulation, technological disruption, and changing demographics. These structural forces have lowered barriers to entry, increasing competition from within and outside the industry. The new entrants in financial services range from entrepreneurial FinTech start-ups to large, non-financial technology-based companies (TechFins and BigTech). The most successful banks, insurance companies, and asset managers will partner with financial technology (FinTech) companies to provide a better and more innovative experience to retail customers and small businesses. Ultimately this technological revolution will benefit customers and lead to a more open and inclusive financial system.
