AI and the next evolution of fund operations
The Multifonds Regional Forum 2026 returns to Hong Kong this November, bringing together clients and the Multifonds team to explore one of the most important questions facing fund operations today: how can firms turn the potential of AI into practical operational value?
MRF Hong Kong 2026 – You are invited!
AI is rapidly becoming part of the technology conversation across fund operations. The opportunity is significant, but successful adoption depends on identifying the right use cases, integrating them into existing workflows and putting the appropriate testing, governance and controls around them.
At this year’s forum, we’ll explore what this means in practice: where AI can support fund operations today, what firms should prioritise as they invest in new capabilities, and how operating models may evolve as AI and automation become more widely adopted.
The Multifonds product and technology teams will present our latest roadmap and demonstrate how we are introducing AI into the Multifonds platform, including AI-supported, exception-driven workflows and our new user experience.
We’ll then bring the technology conversation into the real world through a panel discussion, discussing how Multifonds and our clients are beginning to approach AI in operations, from development and testing through to controls, implementation and potential operational benefits.
What can you expect?
- AI and the operating model – practical use cases, changing workflows and where firms should focus as they build their AI capabilities
- Multifonds AI innovation – the latest product and technology developments, including how AI is being introduced into the platform
- Client fireside chat with HSBC & Standard Chartered – an operational perspective on AI development, testing, governance, controls and the path from experimentation to practical use
We look forward to bringing the Multifonds community together again this November!
