Description
Introduction
This Brief explores key business and technology drivers in European retail brokerage and private banking, and draws out the implications for the securities processing BPO market. It also discusses the current BPO provider landscape, offers opinion on the future shape of the market and forecasts top-level securities processing BPO spend to 2007.

Scope
Covers the major western European markets, with specific focus on the UK, Germany, France and Italy.
In-depth discussion of BPO provider landscape, including FSI in-sourcers, BPO pure plays and providers from a technology background.
Forecasts European securities processing BPO spend to 2007.
Highlights
The competitive environment in retail brokerage and private banking forces players to focus on the front-office and flex their cost bases in the back-office.

As reduction of unit cost becomes key and the polarization between 'asset gatherers' and 'transaction aggregators' in the industry accelerates, self-clearing models in small- and medium-sized brokers and private banks will disappear.

Across Europe, Datamonitor identifies three distinct business models in the current provider landscape: FSIs consolidating their position in securities processing BPO; BPO specialists pushing into the space; and Technology vendors who have to hedge their bets as their addressable market of self-clearers shrinks.
