Around 44% of the world’s population is at least partially vaccinated now, and as we overcome the setback caused by the delta variant, the market seems optimistic on the back of the US Federal Reserve’s talk of tapering asset purchases to remove the monetary stimulus as the economy recovers.
Our clients across asset management, investment banking, private equity, lending and consulting continue to leverage our extensive domain expertise and bespoke technology to improve their bottom lines and operational efficiency. We expanded our Commercial Lending services by launching our Retail Lending Services to support commercial and retail banks in the loan origination, processing, underwriting, closing, and post-closing space. In addition, Acuity was awarded the Best Outsourcing Service Provider to Capital Markets in 2021 Waters Rankings. I thank our clients for voting for us.
As we step into the fourth quarter, we have put together our perspective on what to look forward to over the remainder of the year. We trust our research and thought leadership will continue to help in your innovation and transformation journey.
