WTW has announced the creation of a fintech and digital assets division to help clients address the unique risks to this complex ecosystem of assets.

The WTW ‘Fintech and Digital Assets Taskforce’ will serve clients across all lines of insurance to help clients navigate the evolving regulatory environment and deliver innovative insights and solutions.

“WTW has consistently stayed ahead of financial innovations and the corresponding risks by addressing the evolving needs of our clients,” said Jeremy Wall, global head of FINEX. “The creation of this is a strategic move to address the unique challenges presented by the fintech and digital assets ecosystems.”

This initiative is part of WTW's ongoing commitment for providing specialist knowledge around industry-specific risks. The taskforce is being co-led by Anthony Rapa, fintech subvertical leader, North America, and Trenton McNee, fintech and digital assets industry leader, Great Britain.

Rapa added: “As recent events have made clear, firms must have a holistic view of risks, including third and fourth-party exposures. WTW is uniquely positioned to help our clients make smart, quantifiable risk management decisions and to ensure that their organisations have the financial wherewithal to weather any storm.”
