Hedge Fund Huddle

LSEG recently hosted an evening of thought-provoking discussion and networking in New York City exploring how hedge funds are harnessing Large Language Models (LLMs) and what practitioners can learn from LLM experts in the healthcare and finance industries. The discussions addressed the unique challenges hedge funds face in implementing LLMs, including data privacy, model accuracy, and regulatory concerns. The first discussion was moderated by Nicole Allen, Director of Product Text Analytics, LSEG and she was joined by Ted Merz, CFA, Founder, Principals Media, Aziz Lookman, PhD, Chief Analytics Officer, Rational AI and Sonu Chopra Khullar, PhD, Director Machine Learning Engineering, Capital One. Let’s now take a listen in to their fascinating panel discussion and stay tuned as we will shortly release part two of that evening’s agenda.

Open up a financial publication on any given day and more often than not you will find a story about a hedge fund. Whether good or bad news, these stories can possibly influence market moves.

Have a listen as Jamie goes on the record with Nell Mackenzie, EMEA Hedge Fund Correspondent, Reuters and Will Wainewright, Head of Research, Hedgeweek and Host, AFI podcast.

Different asset classes trade differently, and currencies are no exception. What has been historically known as a rather fragmented market has begun to change with the innovation of algorithms, the proliferation of data and how one makes sense of it as well as the need for best execution in foreign exchange. To help talk us through this evolution we are joined by Tan Phull, Head of FX Execution Trading Services for Bank of America. Alan Martin Lucero, FX Trader at Norges Bank Investment Management and Tim Cartledge, the Chief Data Officer at Tradefeedr.
