The primary objective of asset managers should be profitable growth in the long term. zeb supports you in a practical and efficient way in your future-oriented positioning.

Efficiency increase & cost reduction - Increased pressure on profitability due to competition and innovations
Increased pressure on margins due to more cost-sensitive clients and new cost-intensive regulatory requirements characterise the market. Trends such as passive investments are becoming more important for customers and increase the pressure on profitability due to their low margins - it is therefore necessary to position oneself more profitably in an enormously competitive and innovative environment by increasing efficiency in the value chain. Our experts support you in the quantitative and qualitative analysis of your cost and process structure in order to identify potentials and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of your existing business model.

Operating Excellence as a differentiating factor - On the way to becoming a disruptor
Innovations such as blockchain or software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions have been increasingly developed by start-ups and fintechs for years and are disrupting the financial industry with their efficiency and cost reduction potential. To ensure a sustainable operating model, asset managers need to modernise their operating model and processes. Restructuring (e.g. outsourcing, middle office implementation) or automation (e.g. RPA, AI) can be used as levers to gain agility and efficiency - zeb supports you from conception to implementation with a view to relevant trends in the competition.

Regulatory compliance - continuously increasing requirements must be taken into account
Increasing requirements of MiFID II, UCITS and sustainability have changed the entire value chain - from product design to risk management - in recent years. With increasing cost pressure and narrowing margins, new regulations are becoming an additional complicating factor. This also creates clear opportunities: to reposition yourself, to design a competitive product offering and to discover new distribution channels. zeb supports you in identifying relevant regulatory requirements and implementing them in your strategy and processes so that you are compliant at all times.

Financial services providers should take advantage of the existing window of opportunity and offer their clients innovative services in the context of digital assets.
