| fintech for asset management: Machine Learning for Asset Managers Marcos M. López de Prado, 2020-04-22 Successful investment strategies are specific implementations of general theories. An investment strategy that lacks a theoretical justification is likely to be false. Hence, an asset manager should concentrate her efforts on developing a theory rather than on backtesting potential trading rules. The purpose of this Element is to introduce machine learning (ML) tools that can help asset managers discover economic and financial theories. ML is not a black box, and it does not necessarily overfit. ML tools complement rather than replace the classical statistical methods. Some of ML's strengths include (1) a focus on out-of-sample predictability over variance adjudication; (2) the use of computational methods to avoid relying on (potentially unrealistic) assumptions; (3) the ability to learn complex specifications, including nonlinear, hierarchical, and noncontinuous interaction effects in a high-dimensional space; and (4) the ability to disentangle the variable search from the specification search, robust to multicollinearity and other substitution effects. |

| fintech for asset management: Transformation of conventional Banking. Opportunities and risks of Fintech companies in Asset Management Gleb Romanchuk, 2019-05-03 Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1,3, Berlin School of Economics and Law, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this work was to find out whether Fintechs are able to compete with Banks in the field of Asset Management. Companies providing Robo Advisory services are considered to be the banks of the future. Several interviews with companies working in this field have been conducted to investigate if the algorithms are prepared for the next financial crash. This work contains 7 chapters, starting with the motivation and research question. Sec-ondly, the general situation on the market will be described, including the changes of customer behavior. This serves the purpose to give an understanding about the current market conditions. Thirdly, the banking sector will be described, considering definitions and regulations. In this work the focus will be on the German market, therefore, con-sumer behavior and details about the German retail banking industry are relevant. Sub-sequently, chapter 4 deals with asset management and the new trends in the industry. Chapter 5 describes the development of the fintech industry. Definitions and regulations of the fintech companies are part of this chapter. In chapter 6 the scientific investigation will be conducted and presented. The results will show how stable the new technologies are, in order to give an outlook for the future in the next chapter. Prospects for the future of retail banking and especially asset management will be mentioned in chapter 7. General current trends and forecasts are also part of this chapter. Since only limited literature is available about the fintech industry and especially robo advisory, the investigation part includes a qualitative approach with interviews that have been conducted with qualified specialists that work or research in the robo advisory industry. The question of whether and how the robo advisors will survive the next fi-nancial crisis, is topic of the interviews. There has been no financial crisis that might have caused unforeseen problems for the systems, ever since the creation of robo advi-sory. Thus, it is unknown how those technologies will react to chaotic market situations. The idea was to ask companies to what extent they are prepared for a financial crisis. The findings of this investigation will deal with the possible future outline of those fintechs providing algorithm-based asset management. The question about the security framework has been answered with a view to examining the future development of the robo advisory industry. |

| fintech for asset management: Financial Literacy and Responsible Finance in the FinTech Era John O.S. Wilson, Georgios A. Panos, Chris Adcock, 2021-07-21 A growing body of evidence suggests that financial literacy plays an important role in financial well-being, and that differences in financial knowledge acquired early in life can explain a significant part of financial and more general well-being in adult life. Financial technology (FinTech) is revolutionizing the financial services industry at an unrivalled pace. Views differ regarding the impact that FinTech is likely to have on personal financial planning, well-being and societal welfare. In an era of mounting student debt, increased (digital) financial inclusion and threats arising from instances of (online) financial fraud, financial education and enlightened financial advising are appropriate policy interventions that enhance financial and overall well-being. Financial Literacy and Responsible Finance in the FinTech Era: Capabilities and Challenges engages in this important academic and policy agenda by presenting a set of seven chapters emanating from four parallel streams of literature related to financial literacy and responsible finance. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of The European Journal of Finance. |

| fintech for asset management: A Guide to Financial Regulation for Fintech Entrepreneurs Stefan Loesch, 2018-02-20 The Fintech Entrepreneur’s Guide to Regulation and Regulatory Strategy Fintech has been growing dramatically over the last few years, and it is now an important sector in its own right. This means that Fintech companies, who could so far often rely on a comparatively lenient regulatory regime, will now have to give serious thoughts on compliance with applicable regulatory rules. Operating in a highly regulated environment is tedious, but not all bad—companies that can play the regulatory game well have a strategic advantage, especially with regard to time-to-market and scaling. Nothing spells missed opportunity like a competitor building market share with a copycat product whilst you are still waiting for your license! Written for professionals, this book helps anyone whose job has to do with formulating or executing a Fintech startup strategy or whose job touches financial services regulation, or anyone who simply wants an easy- to-read introduction to financial services and their regulation. Describes the purpose of and principle behind modern financial services regulation Explains how to include regulation into a startup’s strategic planning to optimize time-to-market and scaling Gives an overview of the entire financial services space, and which regulations apply where Gives detailed references to 20 key regulations in the EU regulatory system, including PSD, GDPR, CRD, AMLD, MiFID, UCITSD, AIFMD The first part introduces financial services regulation, its purpose, how it is created (especially in the EU and in the US), and it develops a framework for including regulations into the strategic planning of a company. It also gives a rundown of the current financial services space—players and products—and its key regulations. The second part describes a regulatory system in more detail. The system chosen is the EU because it is more consistent and unified than the US system where a lot of the regulation still is created at the state-level. However, as most financial regulation nowadays is determined at the global level, the principles found in EU regulation will be by and large also be found the US and other systems. |

| fintech for asset management: FinTech and RegTech in a Nutshell, and the Future in a Sandbox Douglas W. Arner, Jànos Barberis, Ross P. Buckley, 2017-07-31 The 2008 global financial crisis represented a pivotal moment that separated prior phases of the development of financial technology (FinTech) and regulatory technology (RegTech) from the current paradigm.
