Financial services firms, particularly those operating in public markets, face the challenge of navigating vast amounts of structured and unstructured data to inform their investment strategies and decision-making processes. With 67% of executives planning to allocate budget towards AI, use of this technology has become imperative for staying competitive. As generative AI tools are moving from providing back office solutions to influencing investment decisions, this event will discuss how firms are integrating AI to their advantage as well as its current challenges and limitations.  

From simulating market scenarios, identifying opportunities and testing strategies, AI tools are poised to be integral to the investment decision processes. Tools like sentiment analysis provide immediate insights into market trends and economic events, helping to identify opportunities and manage risks. However, firms are exercising caution on data accuracy and reliability and scepticism still exists on the ability of AI to estimate earnings potential years into the future. Further to this, despite the efficiency advantages of AI technologies, implementation challenges remain high in steep upfront costs, prioritisation decisions, ensuring effectiveness and managing and training for new organisational work flows. 

This webinar, hosted by the Financial Times in partnership with AlphaSense, shared how and why AI is being used for market intelligence and research in public markets to enhance investment decisions. Additionally, it discussed the common implementation challenges of these tools and how firms are engaging and preparing for this market shift.
