We’re at the beginning of a fourth industrial revolution, characterised by the fusion of technologies and the convergence of the physical, digital and biological spheres. Its effects are already being felt in financial services, with the advent of robo-advisers in wealth management, online-only banks and peer-to-peer funding.
