Bill and Phil are part of a working group that recently published a white paper on the future of the securities services industry. In the episode, Bill and Phil discussed the development of the white paper, which outlines key forces and strategic themes that are expected to impact the Securities Services industry over the coming five to ten years.

Among the working group’s findings:


  • The Securities Services Industry will undergo “significant change” over the next decade.
  • Ten trends will have various levels of impact on the Securities Servicing industry, but the two that could have the most impact are:
    • Changes in Investor Behavior
    • Changes in Technology and Technology-Enabled Competition
  • Global, geopolitical factors could cause the industry to become more fractured regionally.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has recently highlighted the importance of cyber resilience in times of crisis.
