Best-in-class hedge fund operations, technology, data, culture.
Mayfair – Thursday 13th November 2025
Join us at the AFI Innovation Summit where we will be hosting a roundtable on how hedge funds can move beyond generic AI to build bespoke intelligence that reflects their unique strategies, where speed and real-time data have become essential competitive advantages.
Lanware Roundtable Session: 12:00pm - AI from Within
The next frontier for hedge funds is creating bespoke AI that reflects each fund’s unique strategy, rather than relying on general purpose AI solutions. In this insightful session, Henry Duncombe, Managing Director at Lanware, will explore how hedge funds of any size can develop tailored AI and why the ability to ingest, structure, and act on data in near real-time is now a critical strategic imperative.
