TSAM London 2026
Join us at TSAM London
Softwire will be at TSAM London on 13th and 14th April 2026, joining leaders from across the asset management industry to explore the technology, data, and regulatory challenges reshaping the sector.
Optimising modernisation – using regulatory change as an opportunity
Laura Hughes and Simon St John Green will be taking the stage to make the case that regulatory change can be more than a compliance exercise. Handled well, it creates an opening to address long-standing issues across fragmented data estates, legacy systems, and inefficient processes.
With mounting pressures such as T+1 settlement and heightened Consumer Duty expectations, Laura and Simon will explore how organisations can use these moments of regulatory pressure as a springboard for meaningful architectural change, delivering compliance outcomes and broader modernisation together, rather than treating them as separate programmes.
If you’re attending TSAM London, make sure to catch the session.
