China's Digital Advisory: Market Trends and Solutions that Banks Should Look Out For


In this article, we explore the key trends shaping China’s advisory market and highlight the solutions that banks should be aware of to stay competitive and meet the evolving needs of their clients.

With a better understanding of the existing market conditions for advisory in China, let’s ask the more important question – why do banks and brokerage firms need to redesign their advisory offerings?

While digitalisation has been a topic, if not the focus topic, of the financial services sector, many private banks and securities firms are unfortunately still behind the curve in digitalising their businesses. Within the current advisory lifecycle, there are prevalent manual reactive processes that prove to be both time-consuming and cost-inefficient. Technology has the potential to enhance and streamline these processes.
