Rahul Kambli, Product Manager for Primary Bond Issuance at Genesis, reportedly highlighted the pressure on asset managers to make quick decisions in the primary bond markets, stating, Asset managers are under pressure to make decisions extremely quickly in bond primary markets, but failure is not an option because of the opportunity cost of missing out on the best deals. [Source – Globe Newswire] The Primary Bond Issuance solution incorporates AI-driven handlers to automatically process unstructured data received via instant messages and email, reducing the need for manual data entry. This AI technology is part of Genesis' broader investment in AI as a platform service across their solutions.
