Machine Learning in Investment Banking
Machine learning, a subset of ‘Artificial Intelligence’, has its roots spreading out to almost every domain related to work or business today. Machines replacing manual labour with automated technology has become customary for investment banking, and how UBS has implemented machine learning in the bond marketplace is just one example that makes us see the bigger picture.
Companies using Machine Learning in Investment Banking
Apart from UBS joining hands with Overbond to bring machine learning to the table, there are tons of other instances where companies are doing the exact same thing to revitalise their business.
We’ve got names like BNP Paribas—the world’s 8th largest bank by total assets—utilising machine learning by incorporating an AI-based tool of their own called the Smart Chaser. For investment managers, this technology can mean a whole lot of convenience as it allows them to automate trade processing by using predictive analysis.
As a trade-matching tool, Smart Chaser helps compare the details of the client and broker both effectively and predict whether the trade is going to be successful or not. In turn, this saves wasted time and gives rise to being more productive.
Speaking of the UK’s very own banking giant, Barclays’ vision is to become “the most AI savvy workforce in the UK.” Using their very own machine learning technology, they handle payments and rely on AI to make their trade decisions for them.

The Future of AI in Banking
Over time, technology is bound to replace even the smallest aspects of our life. Banking, for one, is something large-scale and the incorporation of AI in this field is seemingly inevitable because it’s only going to grow from here on. To make machine learning as beneficial as possible, it ultimately boils down to us to utilise its full potential and negate all shortcomings with technical dexterity.
