Our Themes

Considering changing global dynamics, we have developed high conviction themes which reimagine how banks will serve society.

Online Economy & Lifestyle
The rise and integration of the online economy is a key driver for economic growth. Finance needs to support the digital lifestyles of this new economy
SMEs & World Trade
World trade is a crucial engine for global welfare and GDP growth, but SMEs still struggle with inclusion with the global economy and access to the financial system​
Digital Assets
Digital assets are here to stay, but in need of institutional adoption, requiring a robust and sustainable infrastructure
Sustainability and Inclusion
Corporates and banks have yet to fully integrate sustainability and financial inclusion into their business models

Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained

- by Alex Manson

This book was written as we have gone from “zero to one” in a little over four years. The foundations have been laid, and new working cultural norms are taking root.
Yet, we are only getting started, there is so much more to come: as such, what is shared here is but a snapshot in time.
