Making AI practical as fund operations evolve
As fund businesses expand across more products, markets and investor segments, operations teams are under growing pressure to scale while maintaining efficiency, accuracy and control.
At the same time, AI is creating new possibilities for how work is performed. The challenge for firms is moving beyond the potential of the technology to understand where it can genuinely improve operations, what should be prioritised and what needs to be in place for successful adoption.
Future of the Fund Industry 2026 – Hong Kong
Join us at Island Shangri-La for the Future of the Fund Industry Forum 2026 – Hong Kong, bringing together fund operations and technology leaders to explore how AI, automation and modern technology are beginning to reshape the operating model.
Hosted by Multifonds, the forum will combine practical discussion with technology in action. You’ll see how Multifonds is introducing AI into operational workflows through a live demonstration of AI-supported, exception-driven capabilities, and hear how firms can think about the technology, data, governance and controls required as adoption develops.
We’ll also be joined by HSBC for a fireside chat, sharing practical perspectives on the journey towards AI adoption, from developing and testing use cases through to controls, implementation and the operational value firms are looking to achieve.
What can you expect?
- AI and the evolving operating model – explore where AI can support increasingly complex and scalable fund operations
- Technology in action – see practical applications of AI and automation through a live Multifonds demonstration
- Investment priorities for the next phase – consider the technology, data, workflows and controls firms need as they prepare for wider AI adoption
- Industry networking – exchange perspectives with fund operations, technology and transformation leaders over a buffet luncheon
Join your industry peers in Hong Kong for an afternoon of practical perspectives, discussion and networking.
Who should attend?
The forum is designed for senior professionals across fund administration, asset management, fund operations, technology, product and transformation who are considering how their operating models and technology strategies need to evolve as AI adoption accelerates.
