The worldwide market for financial services is evolving rapidly and by 2010 will likely look different than it does today. How will global firms sustain growth in a world of fast-changing threats and opportunities? How will they achieve their goals of penetrating emerging markets, managing risk and enhancing customer relationships while improving operational efficiency?

Global financial services executives keen on positioning for success by 2010 must start preparing now. In our new study, Global Financial Services Industry Outlook: Shaping Your Strategy in a Changing World, we share the results of a recent survey of board members and global financial services executives on the transformative issues shaping the executive agenda. We also incorporate feedback from more than 20 interviews with senior industry leaders – including details about the strategies and practices they are pursuing to help them meet their financial objectives.

Insights shared in both the survey and our executive interviews helped us to identify five engines of growth for financial services firms:

• Penetrate emerging markets with low cost business models
• Capture customer relationships through service and technology innovation
• Use transparency and compliance as opportunities to improve performance
• Address risk with an extended view of the enterprise
• Move aggressively to capture product and advisory opportunities in the retirement market
