Welcome to the new Coffee With... AlgoMe Consulting podcast presented by Luuk Jacobs, Partner, AlgoMe Consulting. Today he is in conversation with the latest addition to our team; Paul Mullins, Partner, AlgoMe Consulting.
The EU sees the industry’s increasing reliance on technology as putting it at risk from Cyber threat and significant IT incidents. The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), is designed to minimise such issues. DORA entered into force in early 2023. In just a few months it will apply in full, which is why we have chosen DORA as today’s topic.
Luuk and Paul answer many of the questions the industry needs to answer right now such as; What should Asset Managers do to prepare? How can they design a digital operational resilience framework? How to prepare for a regulatory inspection?
Listen to this instructive exploration of the topic. Get to grips with the five key steps your firm can take to become DORA ready on 17 January 2025. Learn why for some this is a compliance exercise, while others may need to make major operational changes.
Find out all this and more by listening to them discuss the topic of DORA in our latest podcast.

In our latest podcast we examine the news about this year’s banking crises, especially in the light of the SVB and Credit Suisse scenarios, and what the implications of these might be for the Investment Management Industry. We also discuss where the epicentre of financial power might lie in our post Brexit world, and among the current geopolitical uncertainties.
While we are publishing our latest podcast with a bit of delay, there is something refreshing in looking at our analysis a few weeks after the events as the initial furore calms, and we are able to take an objective view.
What really matters to us is to share with you our analysis and views on the fundamental trends in the Investment Management industry, and reflecting through the lenses of leadership, culture, regulation, fundamental geopolitical, organisational and technological trends.

Times have changed and so have work patterns. In this new episode, we discuss with Luuk Jacobs, Partner, AlgoMe Consulting, how people in the industry are working today and what this means for firms.
While the current trends might be toward a mix of home and office life – has long social distancing created a roadblock for return to the norm, or is this just the way things are? There are many implications to consider. Luuk shares his insights gathered from the industry and his own experience, on the balance between office and home working, how this impacts culture, productivity, business travel, diversity, networking and new technology.

Welcome to our first Coffee With... AlgoMe Consulting podcast of 2023. We decided recent news of the acquisition of RBC Investor Services by CACEIS was well worth talking about.
There have been similar transactions across the industry and this marks yet another milestone in the trend towards consolidation of service providers in the Investment Management industry. Therefore, it is more than likely a few pressing questions will come to the mind of those CXOs overseeing global fund operations and outsourcing their activities to service providers: What is the rationale for such transactions? What are the benefits for the entities involved? What is the impact of such transactions, for me as a client, or for the investors that my firm is servicing?
The acquisitions or mergers of service providers pose significant servicing and operational risks, which Investment Managers must mitigate and pro-actively manage.
We examine all these questions in our conversation with Parva Consulting’s Stephen O’Brien and Junaed Kabir, and we discuss how to future-proof operations when service providers are consolidating.

Welcome to our new episode of the Coffee With AlgoMe Consulting podcast where the topic is focused on the FCA.
The FCA has published a strategic plan for 2022-2025, and subsequently a business plan for 2022-2023, outlining how they intend to execute their 2022-2025 strategic plans. These plans reflect FCA's new approach to focus on outcomes rather than on processes, and to regulate across sectors as opposed to across segments. Why this shift in approach, and what does this mean practically speaking for firms in the investment funds industry: How should they interpret these plans? How can they adapt and prepare, especially as they operate across multiple jurisdictions besides the UK?Guests:

Some players in the Investment Management industry claim that we have now reached the bottom of the price war between active and passive funds. Others claim that besides more mergers & acquisitions; the renewed trend towards outsourcing of operations; the ongoing launch of ETF’s and other new products and share classes; the move towards wealth management, we may experience a period of more modest changes in the years to come. Has the wave of fundamental changes that has swept the in the industry in the recent years really passed its peak? Can we substantiate this claim, or are there new structural changes that we should prepare to see?

Operational resilience is making the headlines in the Wealth and Asset Management industry, with a strong push from the regulators across the UK and Europe.
Against that background, how are the operating models adapting in the industry, after having been tested to the limit during the Covid-19 crisis?
What is the implication for outsourcing, which is a prevalent model in the industry? How will these operational models stand the test of time in an industry that is continuously undergoing change?
Finally, is operational resilience the preserve of the CRO's and COO's only, or should it be seen as a cross-discipline responsibility?Guests

As we continue our series of podcasts looking at 2021 with ‘cautious optimism’, we follow-up on our previous episode about new asset classes and products by exploring further what is prompting the Wealth and Asset Management industry towards a binary model of giant vs. niche players. With our guests we discuss in depth what trends we are observing and what that means today. We also look at who the main players are on this world stage, the implications from an investor perspective, and more broadly from a stakeholder perspective.

In this new podcast we explore how the Wealth and Asset Management industry has actively promoted the integration of private markets in the form of new asset classes and fund structures in their product range, especially in the form of cryptoassets. With our guests we discuss in depth what has prompted this trend and how they foresee it developing in the next few years - especially against the backdrop of a post-COVID and post-Brexit economy. We will also have a dive into the implications for Wealth and Asset Managers, from a strategic, infrastructure and development viewpoint.

In our new podcast we look beyond the hype and take a deep dive into ESG with those in the know. The Wealth and Asset Management industry diligently integrated ESG into investment and product development processes over the past few years. Today, increasing taxonomies and regulations raises the question whether we are moving towards a standardisation of ESG? Is this practically possible given the diversity of philosophy and practice in the creation, launch and distribution of ESG solutions? Is this a desirable outcome for the industry?
Listen to our enlightening podcast where we get to the heart of the matter and discuss key developments in the UK and US.

In the first of our new podcast series, we explore ESG and sustainability in great depth with our guests. Over the last few years, in addition to creating ESG oriented products, the Wealth and Asset Management (WAM) industry has embraced a number of stakeholder inclusion measures, which made their way into the regulation: Diversity, equality, and Gender Pay Gap reporting. Today, in a post-Covid and post-Brexit world, the City's geo-strategic position has changed and its regulatory framework is under debate. In this context, will the WAM industry be able to continue developing a purpose-driven and sustainable corporate model? Where do we stand today; and what else is planned, in practice, and from a regulatory perspective? Please listen to hear some great insights and discussion.

At the beginning of 2021, the Wealth and Asset Management industry, is like most of the planet, feeling optimistic about the prospect of moving into a post-pandemic world in the course of this year. At the same time, in a post-Brexit context, the mind of the industry is set towards further expansion, while redefining the regulatory framework in which it operates and integrating innovation further across the board (products, technology, leadership etc.).
However, this renewed optimism will not come without its challenges. These are the fundamental changes in the industry that we invite you to explore with our guests in our new series of podcasts: "Optimism with caution".
