Technologies like hybrid cloud, blockchain, AI, chatbots, and robotic process automation (RPA) are making financial asset management processes easier and more efficient and changing how consumers see and interact with money. According to the current global financial asset management is estimated to reach $1113.53 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 23.78 percent.
This growth is mainly driven by the rise of blockchain, which is becoming synonymous with privacy and involves maintaining private, secure records like client information. Its ability to store data in a decentralized manner enables asset management companies in maintaining regulatory compliance without breaking a sweat. Blockchain also eliminates the need for intermediaries and reduces transaction time without compromising security.
