Beyond AML: Innovation Drives Shaping the Future of Investment

The festive season is behind us, and we hope the year has started well for you, spent with family and friends. Over the past few episodes, we have explored a wide range of topics across financial crime, regulation, onboarding, and documentation trust. In our most recent episode, we focused on documentation trust and examined the growing role of AI — discussing both its opportunities and its limitations, and how these may shape the investment industry in the years ahead. In this new episode, we are joined by John Allan, Head of Innovation and Operations at The Investment Association, and a leading voice in shaping how the UK investment industry adapts to emerging technologies and regulatory change. John is in conversation with Pierre-Yves Rahari, Co-Founder of Reseo, for a deep-dive into innovation in the investment management industry. Together, they explore the major forces currently reshaping the sector — from tokenisation and AI to operational resistance, fund modernisation, and the accelerating pace of change. The discussion looks beyond theory to address how firms can navigate these shifts in practice, and what it really takes to apply innovation in real time.
