Will Investment Banking Survive?
Regulatory changes and technological advances are altering the investment banking landscape.
Investment banking is undergoing unprecedented change. Recent regulatory changes will push investment banks further away from their trading-related activities, further encourage disintermediation of financing, and cause some businesses to stop functioning. Digitalization and FinTech also pose a serious threat to the existing universal banking model. Investment banks should react fast by fostering in-house FinTech innovations and by cooperating and creating multi-bank portals, reveals the SFI White Paper study—The Future of Investment Banking.
