Northern Trust (NTRS Quick QuoteNTRS ) has launched an artificial intelligence (AI) powered tool to derive unstructured investment information from alternative asset documents, in a bid to further digitize its alternative asset servicing business. This underpins the company’s efforts to enhance its asset owner clients’ experience as well as abate operational risk in the alternative asset servicing business.
The proprietary solution has been built in collaboration with Microsoft Azure Applied AI Services, which hastens time to value for companies formulating AI solutions, and business and consulting firm Neudesic. The solution transfigures important information, such as cash and stock distribution notices, capital call notices and capital account statements, from an array of unstructured formats into automated, actionable judgements for the investment teams.
The AI-powered data extraction competencies will read the saved documents as well as fund managers’ reports on holdings and operations of the alternative assets. It will also extract data points, including currencies, asset names and market value. The solution deploys two functions — document capturing and data extracting as well as creating an end-to-end, innovative, cloud-induced process adept at moving document receipt notification to digitized, accounting-ready data in a flash. This will facilitate the company to streamline the workflow and reduce the need for manual intervention.

Since July, daily volatility of the video game retailer has declined by around half. On a per-day basis, GME stock now moves only as much as tech firms like Etsy (NASDAQ:ETSY) and Snap (NYSE:SNAP), lulling short sellers into a sense of false security. Short interest now sits at 51.1 million shares, a 63% increase from this time last year. The put-call also ratio remains bearish; 1.52 puts now exist for every January 2023 call outstanding.

But similarly to Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP), Pinterest is a target for Facebook. And Facebook will do just about anything to smother the competition. Just look at the addition of Instagram stories when Snap became popular.
