Recorded Webinar: AI in Asset Management: Buy-Side Attitudes toward GenAI and LLMs

8 October 2024

Since ChatGPT exploded onto the scene in late 2022, financial markets participants have been trying to understand the opportunities and risks posed by artificial intelligence and in particular generative AI (GenAI) and large language models (LLMs).

While the full value of the technology continues to become apparent, it’s already clear that AI has enormous potential to accelerate and streamline data processes, with the promise of substantial productivity gains and competitive advantage.

This webinar will discuss the results of a survey of buy-side data professionals conducted by A-Team and Rimes Technology exploring the appetite, attitudes and approaches to AI in the asset management function.

The webinar will explore:

  • How buy-side institutions and institutional investors are managing their AI transformation
  • Financial institutions’ attitudes and goals regarding the implementation of AI
  • Their progress in achieving those targets
  • The pain points that they are encountering
  • The factors that are holding back those firms that have been slower to adopt AI capabilities.
