Apac buy-side firms embrace AI and automation to bolster the business

A survey of 50 Asia-Pacific (Apac)-based buy-side firms conducted by WatersTechnology on behalf of Bloomberg reveals rapid adoption of artificial intelligence, application programming interfaces (APIs) and automation across the region as firms look to enhance their competitiveness in what is now an intensely ambitious, data-driven market. 

In this video interview, Bloomberg’s Aryeh Hauptman and Sunny Chhabria discuss how most firms across Apac are already using AI to support their research and market analysis, while APIs are being used to support reporting and custom dashboards, improving firms’ data integration and real-time analytics activities.

Automation is similarly a key priority across the region, particularly when it comes to firms’ portfolio management and trading functions, helping to reduce manual workloads and enhancing efficiency. Firms are also increasing their private markets allocations, specifically private credit and equities. What is clear is that the industry is on a path toward technology-led, data-centric investment strategies and streamlined workflows.
