Why invest in New World Financials?
Older populations are living longer globally and many with insufficient savings. This growing retirement income gap is stimulating demand for new products to ensure individuals have the financial resources needed to live healthy and comfortably long into their golden years.
Meanwhile, digitally savvy upstarts are challenging the old world order and winning big with products that are cheap and conveniently accessed, especially in underserved emerging markets. To compete, banks and insurers are overhauling systems and services to attract
(and retain) new customers. Adding to the fray are e-commerce behemoths offering embedded credit and payment options to online shoppers.
