The financial services industry is undergoing constant and far-reaching change. This affects banks, insurance companies, asset managers and other financial service providers in Switzerland and internationally in equal measure. There is the continuing low interest rate environment and the associated pressure on margins and costs, regulatory developments at national and international level, the emergence of new players such as FinTechs and the digitalisation of processes.
As a result, business and operating models in the financial services industry are regularly put to the test. Transactions in the form of acquisitions or disposals of investments, business divisions or portfolios can help to strengthen business models and ensure positive business performance for the future.
