The AI race: Building foundations for a lasting advantage [REGISTER YOUR INTEREST]

We surveyed 200 Directors of Investment Operations and similar across APAC, EMEA, and North America, to find out about the challenges they are facing. The report itself is split into five sections, looking at respondents’ views on strategic priorities for 2026, data architecture, top performance in the Front Office, the impact of consolidation on operating models and finally the acceleration of AI.

• Chapter I Strategic priorities: Where are firms placing their bets?
• Chapter II Data architecture: Are firms ready to support AI at scale?
• Chapter III Front Office: What separates the top performers?
• Chapter IV Operating Models: What’s the impact of consolidation?
• Chapter V AI Acceleration: Where is the opportunity?
