(Author: Marcille)

In the digital age of the 21st century, intelligent technology has surged like a tide, reshaping various industries with unprecedented force, with the financial investment sector being particularly prominent. With the rapid development of technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and blockchain, the financial investment industry is undergoing profound changes, enhancing service efficiency, expanding investment boundaries, and bringing investors a more personalized and intelligent investment experience. This article will delve into the trends of intelligent technology in the financial investment field, the challenges faced, and future prospects

Deep Integration of Digitalization and Intelligence

Digitalization and intelligence have become the most significant development trends in the financial investment field. Traditional financial institutions are accelerating their digital transformation, using technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence to improve service efficiency, reduce costs, and provide customers with more convenient and personalized services. For example, Robo-Advisors utilize artificial intelligence technology to provide automated, personalized investment advice and asset allocation services. By analyzing customers’ risk preferences, financial status, and market data, they offer scientific investment portfolios, reduce investment costs, and improve investment returns. Currently, intelligent advisory platforms like Betterment and Wealthfront have achieved significant market share worldwide.

The application of big data technology enables financial institutions to assess and manage risks more accurately. By deeply mining and analyzing massive amounts of data, financial institutions can build more refined risk models, improving the accuracy and timeliness of risk identification. In the credit field, intelligent technology provides more comprehensive and precise credit scoring by analyzing borrowers’ credit history, behavioral data, and social data, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of loan approval. This not only reduces the rate of non-performing loans but also allows more users to access loan services.

Challenges Faced by the Intelligence of Financial Investment

With the advent of the intelligent technology wave, there are opportunities for development, as well as challenges. The complexity and uncertainty of intelligent technology may bring technological risks and ethical issues. For instance, AI algorithms may have biases and discrimination, affecting the fairness of decision-making. Financial institutions need to strengthen risk management of intelligent technology, ensuring the transparency and fairness of algorithms to avoid financial losses caused by technical failures or misjudgments. In addition, the rapid iteration of technology requires financial institutions to continuously invest resources in technology research and development and upgrades to maintain competitiveness. As the application of intelligent technology in the financial investment field gradually increases, the demand for professional talents is growing. Currently, there is a shortage of high-end AI talents in the market, becoming a bottleneck for the financial industry’s application of AI. Financial institutions need to increase the cultivation and introduction of AI talents, build a high-quality AI team, and enhance technological innovation capabilities.

Future Prospects and Suggestions

Looking forward to the development of financial investment under the wave of intelligent technology, we have invited two experts in this field to explain.

Mr. Ben Shenglin, who graduated from Tsinghua University with a bachelor’s degree, obtained a master’s degree in business administration from Renmin University of China and a Ph.D. in economics from Purdue University West Lafayette, is currently a professor at Zhejiang University, Dean of the Academy of Internet Finance, Dean of the International Joint Business School, Director of the Beijing Frontier Financial Supervision Technology Research Institute, and concurrently serves as the co-chair of the Zhejiang Internet Finance Association, a consultant to the Guangdong Financial Expert Advisory Committee, and an independent director of companies such as China International Finance Limited. In his view: “In the future, the application of intelligent technology in the field of financial investment will be more extensive and in-depth. With the continuous advancement and expansion of application scenarios of technologies such as AI, big data, and blockchain, they will be deeply integrated with financial services, forming a series of innovative products and services. Financial institutions need to keep up with the development trend of technology, actively explore the application of new technologies in the field of financial investment, and enhance service quality and competitiveness.”

Mr. Eric Chen not only possesses an outstanding academic background with an MBA from the University of Chicago, but also accumulated a wealth of professional knowledge and practical experience in intelligent technology during his early career as a senior technical engineer and technical director. Moreover, he has been closely following the domestic and international development trends of the industry. He is now a financial and investment analyst who has worked in the field of financial investment analysis for many years. With his unique technical background, he has effectively combined intelligent technology with financial investment, developing four technical achievements: “Efficient Technology Sector Investment Strategy Formulation and Management Software” “Automotive Technology Fund Management and Project Exit Strategy Optimization Software” “Investment Digital Research and Management Software” and “Multi-Domain Investment Team Collaboration Platform Software,” injecting new vitality into the intelligent development of financial investment and making significant contributions. Mr. Eric Chen said: “Looking forward to the development of financial investment in the wave of intelligent technology, we are in an unprecedented era of change. I believe that financial investment in the future will focus more on precision, personalization, and efficiency. First, intelligent technology will enhance its auxiliary role. Through technologies such as deep learning and natural language processing, AI can process and analyze massive amounts of data, identify market trends, predict asset price trends, and provide investors with more accurate investment advice and risk management plans, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of investment decision-making and reducing the impact of human errors and emotional interference. Secondly, the extensive application of big data will further promote the personalized development of financial investment. By continuously tracking and analyzing investor behavior, financial institutions can provide more intimate customer services and product experiences, enhancing customer stickiness. In the face of such development trends, financial institutions and investors need to actively embrace changes, strengthen technological innovation and talent training. We should continuously improve our financial literacy and technological literacy, understand and master the application of new technologies in the investment field, and accept and try these emerging investment methods with a more open and inclusive attitude. Only in this way can we stand invincible in the future financial investment market and achieve steady growth of wealth.”

Driven by the wave of intelligent technology, the field of financial investment is moving towards a new era at an unprecedented speed. The innovation of technology not only reshapes the face of the financial industry but also provides investors with unprecedented opportunities and challenges. As Mr. Ben Shenglin and Mr. Eric Chen have profoundly elaborated, the application of intelligent technologies such as AI, big data, and blockchain has brought financial investment into a new stage of precision, personalization, and efficiency. Facing the future, we need to maintain keen insight and an open attitude, keep up with the pace of technological development, actively explore the infinite possibilities of new technologies in the field of financial investment. At the same time, we also need to strengthen supervision and cooperation to ensure that technological innovation develops healthily within a legal and compliant framework, contributing to the stability and prosperity of the financial market.
