We attended this year's Finance Festival in #Frankfurt, #Germany, as one of the key sponsors.

Our colleagues Joël Fischer, CFA and Peer Hannig were joined on the stage by Raphael Müller, CFA from our partner Aladdin® to deliver a keynote speech on a new #WealthTech standard that enables hyper-personalized, scalable, and client-centric wealth management technology and services. They dove deeper into these topics during a breakout session with Nathalie Breitschwerdt from Aladdin. Thank you to everyone who joined us and to rehblau events for organizing.

We are thrilled to announce that we have successfully implemented OpenWealth at our longstanding client LGT Private Banking in partnership with Synpulse8.   OpenWealth ensures standardized connectivity between LGT and its financial intermediaries, providing them with near real-time access to the bank’s investment positions and transaction data. This in turn reduces operational risks and enables financial intermediaries to update their platforms with more timely and accurate data.   Markus Werner, Member of the Executive Board at LGT Bank AG, said: “OpenWealth will strengthen our relationships with independent asset managers, family offices and trustees and support our ambitions as a forward-looking custody bank. The standardized solution will ensure that our partners have access to the latest data to better serve their clients. We look forward to strengthening our long-term partnership with Avaloq in the coming years and to continuing our joint development activities for enhanced connectivity with financial intermediaries globally.”   Martin Büchi, Chief Technology Officer at Avaloq, said: “For nearly 20 years, our partnership with LGT has continued to thrive as we support the bank’s long-term growth with our highly scalable core banking system as well as our web banking platform. With this latest joint innovation, LGT is taking a leading role in helping to create a more interconnected financial marketplace while enhancing the value that financial intermediaries deliver for their investors.”   Thanks to Synpulse8’s standard adapter, the entire #AvaloqCommunity can now seamlessly integrate OpenWealth into their core banking systems for improved data exchange with their network of financial intermediaries.   Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/gwEWqJm3   #WealthManagement #Innovation #Technology #OpenFinance #API Synpulse

In an interview with finews.asia: Top stories, our Managing Director for Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa Pascal Wengi shared his insights on the complexities of upgrading and integrating technology systems in the financial industry. Despite recent advancements in digital transformation, the wealth management industry is still grappling with legacy systems. This is supported by Avaloq’s latest industry survey data, which reveals that 45% of wealth management professionals globally believe that their firm’s technology is outdated. According to Pascal, the key challenge is to prioritize which systems to modernize while ensuring seamless integration with existing platforms, avoiding data loss and providing stable operations.

Our Managing Director for the UK and Ireland Suman Rao recently spoke with FT Adviser about the technology that powers the UK’s wealth managers. In her interview, Suman discusses how Avaloq is helping midsize wealth managers navigate key challenges such as fee pressure and #consolidation through #automation and operational efficiency. Suman emphasizes the importance of pre-integrated #SaaS solutions that are tailored for midsize firms to succeed in the #UK market. The benefits of this approach include constant availability and built-in #compliance with the latest regulatory updates, including #EMIR Refit rules, which will come into force in the UK in September. With Avaloq, wealth managers can rely on a strong operational foundation that enables firms to easily integrate new technology and services. This allows them to stay at the forefront of technology and market trends over the long term. Thank you Chloe Cheung for this insightful interview with Suman.

At Avaloq, we are proud to celebrate the rich diversity that fuels our innovation. On #WorldCulturalDay this year, our colleagues representing over 70 nationalities came together to share their heritage through food, artefacts and traditional clothing.

We also welcomed our keynote speaker, former NBA player Thurl Bailey, who delivered an inspiring message on how cultural belonging can drive performance. His message emphasized the importance of harnessing team strengths and embracing cultural diversity to achieve superior performance and foster a sense of belonging.
