ALFI Seminar on Digital Fund Management

Speaking about AI, most talk about it, some implement it, a handful share their concrete experience with their peers and the industry.
In investment strategy, in trading, in investor preferences and protection, in reporting, how can AI become this horizontal layer that increases efficiency across the board? How can an entity explore, select, implement, test and adopt AI technology in its investment management value chain?

Our keynote speaker in the ALFI Digifund conference will travel with us on the journey of implementing AI to facilitate the Asset Management functions.
