In January 2025, UK Prime Minster Keir Starmer made a speech detailing the ‘AI Opportunities Action Plan for the UK’. Positioned as a watershed moment, the government signalled its commitment to the world that the UK intends to be a global leader in AI development and innovation.
At Axyon AI, we welcome the UK government's commitment to developing and exploiting AI as a means to improve - the advantages of which can be universal whether for a country’s infrastructure, industry or its healthcare system.
For the investment industry specifically, it shines a light on the urgency to embrace the opportunities presented by AI. In PM Keir Starmer’s words, he described the potential that this technology offers as ‘the global race of our lives’.
The investment industry is increasingly looking to AI to enhance the outcomes it delivers but there is much potential to go faster. Research published by Simcorp this year ‘Investment Management 2025’ found that 75% of respondents understood the benefits of integrating AI into the investment process, but indicated a need for more guidance in how it could be done.
There is no one size fits all approach for integrating AI solutions into the investment process, each firm must evaluate the best approach for implementation. However, we believe that a focus on collaboration between technology and human expertise is key, and putting the right AI partner in place to support the process is essential.
For the UK investment industry, AI has endless potential to play a transformative role in enhanced investment performance. The race is on.
“AI has arrived…
Our defining opportunity is here…
And together – we will harness it…”
