Wealth management firms are entering a new phase of digital transformation. Fintechs are bringing new capabilities and approaches, and non-traditional tech competitors such as Apple and Amazon have established a higher bar for client expectations. These trends are forcing financial services firms to reevaluate their digital offerings.
