Investment technology is usually discussed in terms of features, performance and innovation. Beneath the technology sits a more fundamental set of questions: who controls investment infrastructure, who benefits from it, who pays for it, and what should technology ultimately do for the capital owner?
In this CEO Series, PoMaTo Founder & CEO Fabio Agostini examines the structure and economics of modern investment technology, the ideas pioneered by Barr Rosenberg and the growing complexity surrounding investment processes.
The series explores why technology is not neutral in organisational design, how infrastructure and intermediation can affect the economics of investment management, and why the next generation of investment platforms can be designed around more integrated workflows.
The series reflects the author's views and is published for discussion and information. It is not investment advice, a personal recommendation or an inducement to enter into an investment transaction.
Why genuine transformation in investment technology is ultimately a question of governance, incentives and organisational design.
Why the enduring legacy is not a model, but an operating philosophy built around one connected investment process.
How layers of investment infrastructure and intermediation create costs that ultimately flow back to the saver.
Why investment technology should simplify the infrastructure stack rather than add another layer of cost and complexity.
How the principles of integrated investment management can be carried forward using the technology available today.
The principles behind PoMaTo and a vision for investment technology that is simpler, more transparent and more accessible.
