Crypto, culture and change in asset management: PWM Tea Break

Edward Glyn, head of global markets at Calastone, joins PWM over a cup of Japanese matcha to reflect on the transformation he has witnessed across the investment world

From the move from paper-based data to digital platforms, to a growing focus on workplace diversity, inclusion and innovation, Mr Glyn discusses with PWM’s Yuri Bender and Ali Al-Enazi how technology and culture continue to reshape asset and wealth management.

He also explores Luxembourg’s evolution beyond its back-office reputation and shares his insights on how distributed ledger technology is removing friction, driving efficiency and redefining the future of global investing.
