Read previewAs a kid, Rob Chisholm was not drawn to the fast-paced, jet-setting life of a Wall Street banker. Well, maybe if I wanted to be an investment banker or something, I would care about that, Chisholm remembers thinking. Chisholm, on the other hand, is very open about his unorthodox path to Wall Street and the resulting feelings of being an outsider. AdvertisementWhen Chisholm was in college, he rejected the "cliche" of going to an Ivy League and getting a job on Wall Street. At the time, Chisholm admitted, Wall Street seemed like the "complete opposite in terms of the culture and the incentives" he thought he wanted.

All eight of the outperform-rated medtech stocks Leerink has covered since October have outperformed the S&P 500 and their industry index.

JPMorgan is testing a generative AI "copilot" within its private bank, a move that is already saving advisors a couple of hours a day.

The unit's $974 billion in assets are managed by just over 3,500 client advisors. When the CEO of JPM's private bank tapped an advisor with little to no technical experience to lead digital product for his division, it was intentional. He didn't "want the individuals that are deciding the advisor experience and client experience not to sit amongst the front-office users," she said.

Instead, he's betting that small, incremental, and sometimes "boring" moves will make the biggest impact on the bank's overall efficiency. AI is poised to change just about every employee's job at Citi and "sustainably change how we work for decades to come," Zafar said. The four-part plan will impact everyone from technology and operations to wealth and product design. Citi has undergone considerable change as CEO Jane Fraser looks to streamline the bank's operations and boost returns.

Vista Equity Partners, the private equity giant that's known for its tech investing, doesn't want its analysts using generative AI for due diligence. "And we do want our humans to actually go and read the stuff that's important that's going to make billion-dollar decisions in the diligence side." Other private equity firms, like the Swedish giant EQT, have introduced generative AI to the due diligence process, BI previously reported. Vista Equity Partners, which is in the business of buying companies, improving them, and selling them for a profit, employs people whose sole job is to transform operations of portfolio companies and help them scale, Saroya said. He added that the firm created a reference guide for its portfolio companies, including the data, cloud, and other software providers needed to be successful, and partnered with those companies for the portfolio companies to use, where appropriate.

Google Cloud, one of the fund's cloud providers, developed new technologies that drew a full room of spectators at Google Cloud Next. When Google Cloud clients request GPUs through DWS, the platform requires clients to specify the region, the machine type and count of machines, and runtime duration. Knowing how many resources a given client needs allows Google Cloud to provision capacity more granularly, which "unlocks additional capacity," Mateo said. As a cloud provider for many financial firms, Google Cloud benefits from helping its clients run these models because many research platforms are hosted on Google's public cloud. In addition to Two Sigma, Citadel Securities has its research platform on Google Cloud.

Landing a tech job on Wall Street has never been simple, but it's even less so today. But widespread layoffs in the tech sector have created a "glut of supply" of "mediocre talent," recruiters told Business Insider. That's not stopping Wall Street firms from tapping external recruiters to find technologists. Given the private nature of their work, recruiters usually keep their client list and searches close to the vest. For that reason, the specific clients most of these recruiters work with are not named.

Like many other enterprise companies, Symphony was locked into its cloud providers as its tech stack became increasingly entwined with and dependent on the cloud companies' tools and software. Some of that computing power and storage comes from the major cloud providers themselves, by way of consumer devices, but they can also come from a company's own private cloud, Gurle said. On Wall Street, tech execs constantly look for new ways to keep cloud costs in check. This is reaching new heights thanks to the AI craze, with the construction of data centers wreaking havoc on rural communities. Here's the pitch deck Hive used to raise $13 million.

Wall Street firms know the pains of having to satisfy regulators, and with advancements in artificial intelligence, there's a whole new level of scrutiny and complexity. It involves quality-and-assurance teams who test, verify, validate, and challenge the AI models before they go into production and report issues back to the engineering team to fix. In some cases, banks' technology teams are spending at least half their time documenting models for compliance, Jonas Jacobi, cofounder of fintech startup ValidMind, told Business Insider. AI models are often compared to a "black box" because it can be difficult to understand their decision-making or how the models arrive at their results. With the new injection of capital, ValidMind will build more features, like one aimed at automating the risk management of third-party vendor solutions.
