Paul's Insights & Research

Data science and behavioral analytics can create more quantifiable, data-driven outcomes.

Generative AI has the potential to revolutionize investment data analysis for decision making.

Through our partnership with Essentia Analytics, we have the opportunity to provide asset owners with better tools to support their stakeholders while driving better returns – whether that be through the initial due diligence phase with their managers or the ongoing oversight.

As more managers and investors target ESG goals, relying on data to make decisions and to communicate those decisions to stakeholders will be key.

Recent innovations in data science could bring huge payoffs in the investment industry. As sophisticated asset allocators take advantage of greater access to data and better analytical tools, they have the ability to more closely scrutinize their portfolio managers.

For institutional investors hoping to act on ESG goals, data is the name of the game. But investors will have to ensure they have access to the needed data, as well as the ability to draw insights from it.

As institutional investors gain access to advanced analytical tools, they are demanding more from their asset managers.
