At TSAM London 2026, Ralf Spöth and Marc Schwarz from Profidata shared some valuable insights into the evolving landscape of asset management technology. While some things in the industry haven’t changed much over the last two decades but the need for reliable, clean data is still at the heart of everything. Spöth pointed out that the real shift is happening right now and the big focus for this year and beyond is making that high-quality data accessible to AI systems, ensuring that firms are ready for the next wave of innovation.
Schwarz highlighted that when a firm partners with Profidata, the most immediate benefit is the implementation of a single, unified data layer and this isn’t just about technical tidiness; it’s about creating a foundation for the future. Over the first year, clients typically see a massive leap in data clarity, which is the essential first step for any successful AI adoption. Beyond the tech benefits, Schwarz noted that this efficiency translates into tangible cost and time efficiencies.
The end goal for Profidata is always centered on the success of their partners as by streamlining their operations and cutting through data complexity, Profidata are helping their clients focus on what really matters: “achieve more alpha”.
