Asset & Wealth Management Podcast

Clear client segmentation is key to survive nowadays within the asset and wealth managed industry. Especially in times of COVID-19, it’s important to understand the client's needs, and create a personalised experience for them. In this week's episode, Marcel Tschanz and Nadia Mouzo share their thoughts on how asset and wealth managers should be more client-centric, in order to differentiate themselves from others.

Will a post-pandemic world be less sustainable? Will ESG become even more important after the crisis? This and other questions will be answered in the second episode of Stephan Hirschi. In the video and podcast he will talk about how the regulation is still evolving and why you have to monitor these developments, how important is is to define ambitions that allow to remain competitive in the market, and how ESG also needs to become a key element in building trust towards your clients and stakeholders overall. ESG remains a key element in the financial services sector to be considered now in a COVID-19 world and in the future.
