Oddin asserts:“ As new technology and AI adoption becomes inevitable, its impact depends on the people who use it. Investing in the development of talent, continuous learning, and enabling teams to adapt and innovate will be critical.”
At Banque Eric Sturdza, that measured approach underpins technology adoption. Oddin tells The TRADE that new capabilities are only implemented once they have been thoroughly assessed and demonstrated to add value without introducing additional risk. The result is a framework that allows innovation to be embraced while maintaining both regulatory discipline and the personalised service expected by clients.
Looking ahead, Oddin also sees AI and automation continuing to reshape areas including execution, data analysis, risk management and operational workflows. Enhanced processing power and analytical capabilities are expected to support faster decision-making and improved client outcomes.
However, despite the growing influence of technology, she argues that the defining characteristics of the buyside sphere will remain
“ While expertise develops through experience, judgment is built through applying knowledge and learning from outcomes.”
