Published on 12th March 2024
Anna Antimiichuk, Freddie Frith and Ted Murray of Corlytics discuss the merits of the IA Engine Innovator Programme.
Q: What inspired you to join the IA Engine and now one year after, what are some key learnings or insights gained from the IA Engine Innovator Programme?
Freddie: Our goals in taking part in the IA Engine Innovator Programme were to get to understand where the industry is at now with developments, opportunities and challenges. And to be able to receive feedback from the top voices of the industry directly. And indeed, the Programme offered us a unique platform for engagement. We were able to meet and collaborate with experts, gain unique insights from within, as well as share the latest developments in regulatory technology. Participation helped us to land potential partnerships and increase brand awareness which is especially valuable after the changes derived from the acquisition by Corlytics and the expanded offering. We’re grateful for this opportunity.
Q: What aspect of this engagement with the Investment Association appealed to you the most?
Ted: The IA Engine gives you access to a large Investment Association network, and we have had a number of industry-led conversations throughout the Programme. We have been introduced to people who are at the core of the investment management industry and have given us invaluable advice that allowed us to advance our product offering.
Q: From your perspective, how is the industry evolving, and how does Corlytics position itself in this changing landscape?
Anna: Investment management companies are now facing new threats and uncommon opportunities in the post-pandemic business environment. As Deloitte mentioned in one of the recent reports, product innovation and impactful customer experience are likely to remain the leading drivers of growth. Companies are increasingly investing in technology to help drive meaningful change for the customers. Compliance is high on the radar too.
Q: Has the Programme influenced Corlytics’ offerings for the investment management industry?
Freddie: The IA Engine has been a catalyst for a more tailored and responsive approach to the needs of our clients in the investment management industry. It has empowered us to proactively address the challenges of the industry in our offerings and introduce strategic enhancements.
Q: Did you engage in any meaningful collaborations or partnerships as a result of your participation?
Freddie: We’re currently in discussions with top industry players thanks to our involvement in the innovation programme. These conversations are paving the way for exciting partnership opportunities that will drive our collaboration with the investment management industry forward.
Q: What else did you like about IA Engine Innovator?
Anna: We loved the opportunity to address the Investment Association via multiple channels and formats such as videos, interviews, demos, informal networking events. All of this content was created by the Association, tailored for the industry, so it was of huge help for us too to share our updated message about the offering.
