Blue Lion Research, a City of London Fintech company, is bringing in artificial intelligence (AI) to provide deeper analysis for investors and managers. For investors, the firm assesses operational criteria, clauses and features of legal documents, and provides comparison with peers and response to market conditions. And for managers, they evaluate differentiation and provide a better understanding of their fund universe. Their new product launched in August 2016 after two years of research and development.
