Day 1 | 4th November

2:20 PM Future of Investing Fireside: Investment Decision-Making with Agentic AI: How can you use autonomous AI systems to improve portfolio agility, execution efficiency and investment scalability?

AI adoption across credit markets is evolving rapidly beyond workflow automation and analytical support tools. Firms are increasingly exploring autonomous AI agents capable of monitoring portfolios, executing trading decisions, reallocating capital and managing investment processes across increasingly complex and data-intensive public and private credit environments.  

This session will examine how agentic AI and autonomous execution models could reshape portfolio management, trading infrastructure and investment governance across credit markets. Panellists will discuss where machine-driven investment systems can create competitive advantage, how firms should balance autonomy with human oversight and what the rise of AI-governed portfolios could mean for the future structure of credit investing.  

Following the fireside chat, attendees will break into interactive roundtable discussions to debate the key themes, share practical insights and exchange perspectives with peers.
