Conduct risk in financial services is a critical area that requires vigilant monitoring and robust surveillance mechanisms. Regulatory bodies, (FCA, FINRA and others) have tightened their scrutiny and financial institutions must adopt advanced approaches to effectively manage and mitigate conduct risk. This webinar will examine the latest methodologies and technologies used to address conduct risk, and where AI is making a meaningful difference.

The session will explore how integrating advanced analytics can transform conduct detection by ‘connecting the dots’ across data sources including transactional data, communication records, and performance metrics. By reducing false positives and enhancing the accuracy of risk detection, institutions can focus on genuine threats and streamline their compliance efforts. Attendees will gain insights into the practical application of these technologies and learn about the regulatory requirements and expectations surrounding conduct risk management.

Join this webinar to learn more about:

• Key conduct risk obligations – FCA, FINRA and others
• The importance of behaviour-centric surveillance in conduct risk detection
• Comprehensive e-comms surveillance strategies across various channels
• How AI and machine learning are reducing false positives and boosting productivity
• The importance of archiving and practical steps to achieving compliance

Trading strategy is in place, the technology stack is optimised and the trading team is highly skilled – but what about the user experience? Whatever the stack, the desktop, the trading apps and their functionality, a trading platform is only as good as its user interface (UI) and user experience (UX).

This webinar will review the importance of UX and why it needs to be front and centre in the trading workflow. It will consider the key elements of UX design including user centricity, context and consistency, and provide practical guidance on how to develop and implement an optimal experience for traders. The webinar will also discuss how to include AI and GenAI apps in the UX and highlight the benefits of an optimal solution.

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.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are empowering financial institutions to get more from their data. By augmenting traditional data processes with these new technologies, organisations can automate the detection and mitigation of data issues and errors before they become entrenched in workflows.

In this webinar, leading proponents of augmented data quality (ADQ) will examine how this emerging trend in technology-led automation can foster trust in datasets and lead to better decision-making and favourable outcomes across enterprises. The webinar will also look at the challenges that can complicate the adoption of ADQ and the pitfalls that might befall an organisation if it is unable to trust its data.

Register for this webinar to discover:

• How AI is enhancing financial institutions’ data management processes
• Best practices for implementing ADQ
• The importance of having data that can be trusted
• Case studies of ADQ’s application
• Overcoming challenges to its implementation.
