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.
