Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Banks, Banking, Insurance, Fund Management

Why banking will make big profits again - and when. (Archive article from 2009)

What is the future of banking?  Will banking be profitable again?  Every day I am asked this question.

Around 25% of my work over the last decade has been with some of the largest banks in the world, and they, together with global investors, are anxious about the future.

While the amount of capital they require has been increases - so return on capital will be lower than in the past - banking remains fundamental to the global economy and will be a vibrant part of our future.

Urgent ethical questions. Over the last decade I have lectured to thousands of fund managers from many different institutions including banks, responsible for hundreds of billions of actively managed investments, mainly entrusted to them by pension funds.  The global economic crisis highlighted a number of fundamental problems within the industry, that had been there for many years, and remain unresolved.  Issues such as over-charging, low performance, lack of confidence of fund managers in their own funds.  Restoring trust has to be an urgent major priority.

Credit Crunch and Sub-Prime Crisis - 2008 Video on Future of Banking - turned out to be very perceptive. Future of Banking Keynote Speaker

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Banks, Banking, Insurance, Fund Management

Irrational markets and strange investment decisions. How markets are driven by emotion rather than logic. Implications for collapse of confidence in banking and government The trouble is that it is easy to make intelligent people seem ridiculous with hindsight - question is what decisions are being made today which will seem as absurd in a few years time. 

Post by Patrick Dixon / video made by BBC- both in 2008 - very perceptive.

What next in the Sub-Prime Crisis? - Video on Future of Banking / Economy

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Banks, Banking, Insurance, Fund Management

Hedge funds and other investment groups have many other bets in the market which could destabilise national economies. The Credit Crunch is related mainly to bad loans which became hard to value when sold on to other financial institutions, made worse by falling house prices. Wider risk from major currency fluctuations, plus speculation in oil futures and other things.
