Digital Assets and Institutional Investing Interest in Digital Assets as an institutional asset class is growing and the supporting data, infra and processes are evolving to keep pace. The launches of exchange-traded Crypto-currency funds, industrial-grade ratings for digital assets and new digital bonds are all significant developments in this area since we last met in Sept 2023. We have convened a panel of experts in the space in Hong Kong to explore these local and international developments and to identify the likely impact on our financial data industry.

AI and ML – Financial Data Use Cases So Far… At our Sept meeting there was consensus that Generative AI would have a significant impact on our industry. We also noted that there were not very many real use cases that we could easily reference. We have convened another panel of experts to explore real life applications of AI and ML (both “traditional” and the recent “generative” models) in our financial data industry. Bill Bierds, BCC Group International (moderator) |

How the Role of the Financial Data Professional is Evolving Our industry has seen no shortage of disruption both technical and commercial and our member profile is a virtual super-hero with skills ranging from cost optimization to strategic planning. Our local and international panel of senior managers in the industry have first-hand experience of this phenomenon and the challenges of successfully delivering business solutions while navigating a career and building high performing teams. This promises to be an engaging discussion for both the members and the HKU students in the audience and provides a bridge to our informal grad recruitment “fair” during the networking.
