Investment and Technology

As a finance major, my desire career path is either in the investment banking or hedge fund industry.

But, in this blog, I will simply discuss how the role of technology is vital to the business of investment banking where hundreds of millions of dollars are at risk everyday. With that said, the video contained within the blog discusses how leading investment bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, is educating the investment banking technology industry of India of the importance of market connectivity, algorithm engines (mathematical software programs) and risk analysis software tools to an investment bank.

The Chief Information Officer stresses on how an investment bank's success (making money) relies on the quality and efficiency of a bank's technology. So as a fiance major and an aspiring trader, obtaining the expertise of the use and creation of these software programs that are vital to investment banks can make me an indispensable resource.

Knowing these investment bank technology can make me a better trader in analyzing investments and also if I could venture in the art of creating these technology, then there will be a reduced need and cost for my investment bank to go out and purchase these software programs as most investment banks purchase these technology rather than creating it themselves.
