Chart of the Day: Majority of fund managers look to use AI to reduce manual process

Other fund managers seek to use DLT-related tools.

More than half (54%) of Singapore fund managers said they are planning to tap AI and machine learning to improve their automated operations in the next 12 to 18 months, a Calastone report showed.

Other options are DLT (46%) and robotic process (38%), the chart showed.

Calastone said there is rapidly growing tokenization in Singapore. This includes the central banks projects to push asset managers to use advanced tech to improve investor outcomes.

“In addition to approving a number of digital asset offerings, MAS has also launched its own initiative – Project Guardian – to explore the potential of tokenised financial assets,” read the study.

Responses of nearly 600 mutual fund investment managers and mutual fund asset servicers or administrators from international markets, including Singapore, were included in this study.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
