On-demand Webinar: Technology Transformation in the Capital Raising Process
Registration is now closed, please complete the form on the right to receive the recording on exclusive digitalization of investment banking webinar.
Fintech has been applied pretty effectively to the consumer finance space. We all bank online and via our mobile phones now. Fintech has yet to create profound change in capital markets, particularly the capital raising space, which functions very similarly to how it did 10 or even 20 years ago. However, it does appear that the market is on the verge of driving change through increased adoption of emerging technologies to drive efficiencies in the capital raising process, use automation tools to free up the more mundane tasks from employees, and potentially open up new business opportunities and models for issuers, banks and investors. Raja, CEO and co-founder of Origin Markets, will join us for a discussion on the key themes regarding what digitization might hold for capital raising innovation.
• Will technology transform the primary capital markets?
• Which parts of the capital raising process are most ripe for automation?
• What are the potential benefits of automation compared to manual processes?
• What are the effects for banking employees – opportunity or risk?
• Connecting issuers and investors – could new technology and digital platforms make the market more accessible?
• What will the markets look like 10 years from now? Will technology disintermediate investment banks?
