Alternative data and artificial intelligence in asset management
The Innovation and Data team is composed of Quant Researchers, Data Scientists, Portfolio Managers and Software Engineers. We collaborate with experts throughout the bank to develop methods that can extract valuable insights from the ever-increasing amount of available data and unlock the predictive power of AI.
Artificial intelligence is superior to humans in handling and processing very complex and large amounts of data; on the other hand, humans are more flexible and creative. Thus, humans and machines complement each other in a very meaningful way and the combination of both can deliver results that would not be possible on their own.
