Overview:
This session will explore the impact that AI and the Metaverse will have across the economy over the period 2023 to 2030 and the resulting impact on the asset management business including the underlying portfolios.
The arrival of the internet followed by smart mobile resulted in significant changes in terms of stocks with the largest market capilisation in the world along with key factors such as PE ratios and high growth stocks.
The era of AI and the Metaverse enabled by standalone 5G networks is forecast by analysts to result in change as great as we have experienced since the arrival of the industrial revolution to today, however, in this case the transformative change will be concentrated over the duration of a 5-to-7-year period rather than 200+ years.
