Navigating A.I., Skills Shifts, and Reporting Challenges

In a recent interview with Nick Holland, FTF’s Director of Events and Content Strategy, Susan Agbenoto shares insights on pivotal industry trends and her expectations for the financial services landscape in 2025, as she prepares to speak at FTF’s upcoming Performance Measurement & Client Reporting event, PMCR 2025. The conversation focused on the impact of AI on investment performance roles, challenges in alternative investment reporting, and the upcoming FTF News conference.

Agbenoto explains the persistent lag in alternative investment reporting due to the complexity and infrequency of data collection, emphasizing the need for improved systems to handle delayed cash flows and valuations effectively.

“If you know anything about alternatives, the lagging in reporting is what everyone talks about," states Agbenoto. We have a six-month reporting lag... I think there's really a need for systems that can accurately, not just measure, but measure on time.”

Agbenoto also expressed excitement for the detailed discussions at the upcoming PMCR event in February 2025. 

“I really enjoy the FTF conference, and it’s because of the detail of some of the topics that are discussed and how you take away something that you can practically use when you go back to the office.”
