Over 200 people gathered in London yesterday for AIMA’s Technology & Innovation Day event, exploring how digital innovation is reshaping the global alternatives industry.

Some of the key takeaways from the day include:

* Gen AI stole the spotlight: Fund managers are eager to harness its potential, but equally focused on managing the risks. Attendees gained exclusive insights into how firms are using the technology, how investors expect them to use it, and how they are managing associated risks.

* Innovation in cyber security remains front and centre: Threats continue to evolve, and staying agile is critical for resilience. AIMA’s newly-launched Tech Vendor Directory was highlighted as a practical resource, helping fund managers identify partners that can strengthen not only their cybersecurity posture but also their regulatory compliance, investor relations, and operational processes to faces the threats of tomorrow. 

* Supervisors are rethinking oversight: Data and technology are reshaping how regulators monitor firms, making it essential for firms to stay alert to shifting expectations and demonstrate how they manage the risks of new technologies.

Thanks to our sponsors, speakers, and attendees for an outstanding day of insight and networking.
