TowerGroup Take-Aways

Shockwaves from the upheaval in the US financial system are spreading across borders and causing tectonic shifts in international power, prompting leading institutions to adopt a true global approach.

A chasm in the quality of their asset portfolios and financial performance is exacerbating the polarization between pacesetting and lagging institutions.

While financial upheavals have left ailing institutions bracing for survival, healthier players are embracing new business models and investing selectively in technology innovation to gain market and position for growth.

To prevent irreparable loss of confidence in the financial industry, financial services institutions (FSIs) and regulators must take prompt and concerted action to establish an integrated risk management framework.

As a series of financial pressures and other swing factors influence the top 10 business drivers, FSIs must interconnect with an ecosystem of providers to deliver optimal value to the end clients.

TowerGroup believes that common sense should prevail and FSI leaders must focus on steering through the turmoil of 2008 with their view set on reshaping an interdependent industry for a brighter future.
