Will Alternative Lending take away credits even from Digital Banks?
Within the last two decades, banks have nearly lost consumer payments. When it comes to lending, the market share of the banks is constantly dropping too.
In this BrightTalk session, we will take a closer look at old-fashioned banks, digital and digitalized banks, and online lenders to examine which types of companies are more likely to dominate the consumer lending. We will pay extra attention to the role of technology, especially banking APIs.

As major economies deal with trade and currency issues, how will this affect their smaller trading partners? This webinar will discuss the implications of these issues on emerging markets.
Bangladesh, a country with 160+ million population and $300 billion GDP, is growing more than 8%, which is one of the highest growth in Asia. Although agriculture growth has slowed, but the country has witnessed tremendous growth in manufacturing and services in the fiscal year FY 2019. Domestic consumption continued to remain strong and the country has shown superior level of resilience amid global economic slowdown. The impending completion of large infrastructure projects could help sustain this growth, which would enable the country to become one of the most stable high growth countries in the World. However, financial sector vulnerability due to increasing non-performing loans is a serious concern. Other major risks like political uncertainties have subsided as the present government is consolidating its position in it's third consecutive terms.
This webinar will discuss how Bangladesh has been positioned as one of the most attractive destinations for investment. What the major prospects of doing business here are, and what the opportunities of investment in private and public equities are. The webinar will also discuss about the challenges of investments in both type of equities.

Smart beta assets continue to grow and have almost reached $1 trillion, which is fueled by investors hoping for outperformance or risk reduction, occasionally also for both. But is there truly a reduction in risk relative to major indices by using factors? And, are the enhanced returns from smart choices, or from a compounded reduction in fees?
Join this webinar to hear about:
- what is behind the trend to allocate more assets to Smart Beta
- why multi-factor strategies growing in popularity
- why smart beta returns are likely substantially different to those from factor investing literature

For companies and boards seeking to protect and create additional long-term value, leveraging diverse perspectives around the board table the power of their board diversity is critical. Board diversity has been identified as a contributor to value creation for companies of all sizes and maximizes board effectiveness, by including a variety of perspectives, avoiding "group think" in the board room, and helping to ensure the board/company does not make risky decisions. This panel will bring together an investor representative, a corporate executive, and a board advisor/ESG consultant, all of whom have been successful and active in this space. They will address the following questions:
- What is the optimal board composition for maximize corporate effectiveness?
- What questions can and should directors ask themselves to enhance their boards' gender, social and professional diversity to obtain diversity of perspectives represented on the board?
- What are concrete steps to take in the areas of board evaluations, refreshment, and succession planning to increase board diversity?

The next three decades will see the largest transfer of inter-generational wealth in history. In the U.S alone, we expect that between $30 and $40 trillion of wealth will be transferred from Baby Boomers to Generation X and onto Millennials.
Wealth managers will be dealing with a new generation of investors who are far more values-driven than earlier ones. And research indicates that both women and millennials are more likely to invest consistently with their values. A survey by BlackRock found that 67% of millennials want investments that reflect their social and environmental values, while 76% of women said the same.
Independent reports from Standard Life and JPMorgan forecast the global impact investment sector will be worth $1 trillion by 2020, compared to $60 billion currently.
This massive and wide-ranging trend raises a number of challenges for wealth advisors who want to succeed for their clients in this new environment. The panel will address these related issues:
● What is the most reliable methodology for identifying publicly traded companies that truly commit to specific ESG/Impact values in their operations?
● Can an ESG/Impact-driven portfolio perform at least at parity with a more traditional portfolio?
● What's the most effective way for a wealth advisor to convey to potential investors regarding his/her commitment to and expertise with ESG/Impact investing?
● Is the "typical" wealth advisory firm properly staffed and resourced to deal with this rapidly approaching trend? If not, what still needs to be done?
