Recorded Webinar: Generative and Agentic AI in Financial Markets: What the Data Really Shows

15 October 2026

Artificial intelligence is reshaping financial markets – but the reality on the ground is more nuanced, more uneven, and more instructive than the headlines suggest. A new A-Team Insight research programme, drawing on responses from senior AI decision-makers at buy-side and sell-side institutions across the USA, UK and Canada, reveals a market in transition: from tool rollouts to structural transformation, from experimentation to accountability, and from a single ‘AI strategy’ to a spectrum of approaches defined by firm type, size and geography.

Join A-Team Insight and LSEG as we unpack the most significant findings from this research, with a focus on what decision-makers can take directly into their own AI programmes.

What this webinar covers:

  • The buy side vs sell side divide: what is driving the adoption gap and why sell-side urgency is measurably higher
  • Hedge funds vs asset managers: why strategy type predicts AI adoption better than firm size, and why the two segments face fundamentally different constraints
  • Where AI is delivering real ROI: the use cases generating measurable value today and where firms are still falling short
  • The data problem: why data trust is the top quality concern across both segments, and why the UK and North America face different challenges requiring different solutions
  • What it takes to unlock budget: the proof points that move the CFO conversation from scepticism to approval
  • The geography gap: why UK firms lag North America on first-mover conviction, and what the Canada data reveals about regional risk appetite
  • The path to agentic AI: how firms are deploying autonomous agents today, where they are deliberately holding back, and what the data tells us about deployment intent
