Dr Carolina Minio-Paluello,, Chief Executive Officer at Arabesque AI will be speaking at the FundsTech Forum London whether AI can fully power an investment solution? For AI to revolutionise portfolio management, it is important to have not only an abundance of data, but also the ability to create and collect new investment data as and when it is created. And once it’s collected, the challenge is then to cut through the ‘noise’ that so famously infects market information. So, does this data exist in the abundance needed to enable artificial intelligence to predict stock market movements? And to what extent can machine-learning models be used to carry out complex computational tasks and data analysis?

❤️🔥 We are very pleased to have supported "Open Finance: new opportunities for advanced advisory services", an initiative of AIPB - Associazione Italiana Private Banking and PwC Italy dedicated to the evolution of the financial advisor's role.   🚀 Gianluca Berghella, President & CEO of Armundia Group took the Armundia point of view in the panel discussion: “New players and services for private operators with open finance”.   Awareness must be central: 1️⃣ from knowledge to building an evolved relationship with the customer by focusing on customisation of the service. Technology is not a constraint, but a commodity that provides solutions for data management but also for the implementation of internal business processes. 2️⃣ focus on the advisor and the client: approach the relationship by providing tools that give a 360° view of opportunities for the client. Artificial intelligence is the tool that gives real added value to this new way of relations and has a much more advanced approach to innovation. 3️⃣ democratisation of innovation: starting with the definition of a strategy and then moving on to operational, organisational and commercial processes. AI can democratise and transform the bank by overcoming speed gaps between the different areas of the business within the structure. In this way, uniform and harmonious growth can be achieved and investments can be maximised. . . . #ArmundiaGroup #Fintech #Insurtech #Privatebanking #Innovation #OpenFinance
