Current and prospective industry challenges, changes, disruptionsCurrent and prospectiveindustry challenges,changes, disruptionsThe challenge for the investment banking industryrevolves around higher capital charges, marketelectronification & digialisation, stuck cost base,inflexible and layered technology with increasedcomplexity of regulation and reporting.1. Regulation drives businessbehaviourBanks are already fully engaged inmeeting the IFRS 9 requirements andthe resulting changes to their businessmodel with specific focus on provisioning.Pressure to build appropriate models anddata requirements only leads to greatercomplexity.Basel III has increased focus onmaintaining core liquidity and leverageratios with pressure on reducing shortterm funding, holding more liquid assets,raising long-term wholesale funding,while reducing leverage both on and offbalance sheet.2.Capital is scarceThe effect of Basel III has resultedin fundamental shifts in productprofitability. Structured derivatives andlong dated transactions pre-crisis & Basel3 in many cases are now a drag on ROE.This has resulted in the shift towardsthe creation of non-core divisions todispose of unprofitable transactions &portfolios. Commoditised exchangedtraded OTC products has resulted ina fundamental change in margins andcapital management.3.Pressure on costs as suboptimal ROEbitesInvestment banks face significantpressure to reduce their cost base asregulation has bitten. Industry expertspredict only 5 to 6 investment banks05will be successful as “transformational”cost initiatives fail to deliver results onthe back of complex infrastructure andgovernance hurdles.4.Banks are required to utilise theircustomer knowledge to not onlyretain but grow their customerreturns through more effective crosssell.The ability to measure and cross sellproducts has become increasinglyimportant to a company’s ability toremain competitive, while best servicingall bank customers with an eye on capitalreturns.5.The emergence of Fintech companiescreates a disruptive marketplaceThe African financial services market isexpected to be one of the most receptiveFinTech markets globally, opening thedoor to disruption across the end toend investment banking value chain.Blockchain is rapidly seen as changing theface of cross-border lending activity.6.Outdated, inflexible physicalinfrastructure restricts movementand growth in the current digital ageThe traditional infrastructure of banks(both physical and technical) has provento be inflexible to change and thisrenders their ability to survive “as is”in a disruptive marketplace potentiallyunlikely.
Current and prospective industry challenges, changes, disruptions7.Increasing complexity of reportingand responding to new and evolvingregulation with focus on dataoptimisationThe evolving demand for reportingcompliance including governanceoutlined in BCBS 239 & Pillar 3 poses newchallenges to all banks. This increases thepressure on data optimisation throughaccuracy, timelines & granularity of risk &financial reporting requirements.8.The client onboarding conundrumThe increased pressure for banks to bothhistorically clean up their adherence toAML and KYC and remediate & streamlinetheir current procedures. The cost ofcompliance continues to rise with highercapital requirements resulting in thereview of existing business model bothgeography and client segments.11.Cyber SecurityNumber of cases of digital theft fromBanks through bypassing risk controlswithin Swift. Swift processes 6tntransfers daily with 11 000 members.EBA to stress test financial institutions toassess vulnerability to hackers & Swift toimplement “two factor” authentication.12.Regulators get tough on BCBS 239A number of regulators globally are nowseeing adherence to meeting BCBS239as a compliance requirement as opposedto set of principals. This has resulted inconsiderable investment cost to meet thecurrent deadlines. Watch this space.9.Disruption is ripe in all financialmarketsDisruption in markets such as foreignexchange is reshaping the bankinglandscape and how the traditional playersexist in the ever-changing landscape withdecreased market share and margins.10.Market Place LendersSecuritising consumer debt as thechallenge to raise funding to match newlending activity with 90% of fees fromnew loans with increased financingfrom Institutional investors.

Current and prospective industry challenges, changes, disruptionsThe future of theinvestment bankinglandscapeThe changes and evolution of the financial serviceslandscape that we have seen to date is just the beginningof an ever-developing eco-system. Success in this newenvironment will force changes in the way financialinstitutions see themselves and their customers, the way inwhich they tailor and channel pioneering products, and theinnovative strategies they use to combat new disruptors. Decreased customer profitability andincreased competitionCustomer profitability and measurementof capital has become an increased focalpoint as banks continue to operate in anever competitive market. As competitiongrows, margins will be squeezed andultimately only the most efficientcompanies will survive. Continued development andoptimisation of data sources asduplicate demand for informationand reporting continues to increaseLeveraging data sources will provideinstitutions with a more granular viewof the marketplace and the existingrisk. This ability will offer new firms acompetitive advantage as they are ableto tailor their risk and business modelstrategy. Existing competitors will alsobenefit from leveraging this informationto identify untapped opportunities withinthe marketplace. Investment banks areset to utilise this data to raise profitability,map out markets and companyexposures and ultimately - win moredeals. The analysis will boost profitabilityby promoting a better understanding ofthe customer and placing the institutionin a better position to understand andmeet their client’s needs.09
