Exploring the Role Technology Plays in Investing
We live in a world full of technology; faster computers, smart phones, and cars that can drive and park themselves are all part of the world that is becoming more reliant on technology. Like every other industry, the financial sector has been touched by these changing times.
The relationship between data, technology and human talent is key to the successful incorporation of these trends in active portfolio management. Investment managers are constantly enhancing the technology they use to stay on the cutting edge of an industry that is changing at a rapid pace. The State of Wisconsin Investment Board is no different. But what does this technology look like? How does it help investment management staff make the right decisions to help the Wisconsin Retirement System meet its goals?
In this episode of the SWIB Podcast, we're going to hear how SWIB is growing the technology it uses to support the increasingly complex internal strategies designed to add value for the benefit of WRS participants. We talk to two SWIB portfolio managers, Nick Stanton and Derek Drummond, about how they use technology and how it helps them work smarter to generate returns, manage risk and keep the WRS among the only fully funded pensions in the country.
The SWIB Podcast is where members of the WRS can turn to for timely information about SWIB and its investment strategy. Join us on a regular basis as we discuss how SWIB positions the WRS for long-term success.
