GBST to develop new super software
GBST is looking to meet the needs of millennial investors who want better control of their investments with new retail software offerings that are currently under development, and will be released next year.
Commenting on the development, GBST head of Asia Pacific, Denis Orrock, said GBST would look to enter the market segment which required further digital solutions and would work with the company’s existing digital skill offerings and its API registry capability.
“The interface gives superannuation funds access to GBST’s EMU Design User Interface (UI) skills which focus on the user experience to build a bespoke public and logged in state for our clients,” he said.
“Superannuation clients have told us that online investment vehicles have grown during the past few years to the point where online now has a stronger member engagement.”
“Investors are looking for increased mobile accessibility and…superannuation funds are looking for ways to provide this while ensuring they remain fully compliant.”
GBST confirmed the software would be released in early 2018.
