Nexus AI

Turn complexity into competitive advantage with AI built for investment professionals

The investment industry faces a productivity crisis. Investment managers lose days to manual compliance checks whilst distribution opportunities slip away. Financial advisers spend 12 minutes of every client meeting on administrative tasks instead of building relationships. Teams toggle between disconnected systems, re-key data across platforms, and struggle to extract insights from fragmented information.

Nexus AI changes this equation. Embedded within the Nexus platform and powered by FE fundinfo's trusted datasets, it delivers intelligence directly into your workflows—turning hours into minutes, risk into confidence, and complexity into growth.

From fragmented tools to connected intelligence

For years, the industry has turned to point solutions—each addressing a narrow problem but together creating silos, duplication, and unnecessary complexity. Investment professionals need connected workflows that span research, compliance, distribution, and client servicing.

Nexus AI delivers this through secure AI embedded within core platforms, powered by trusted data, and aligned with established workflows. The result? Teams spend less time on administration and more time delivering growth, client outcomes, and long-term value.

Investment managers gain reduced regulatory risk, accelerated time to market, and real-time market intelligence—freeing teams to focus on product strategy, distribution expansion, and client relationships.

Financial advisers gain automated data capture, seamless documentation, and unlocked capacity—enabling them to serve more clients brilliantly without adding staff whilst meeting Consumer Duty requirements with confidence.

What if your systems worked as hard as you do?

Why Nexus AI delivers results when other solutions haven't

Nexus AI embeds intelligence directly into your workflows—not as another tool to learn, but as capability woven into the systems you already use. Purpose-built for investment management and financial advice, it understands your processes, speaks your language, and delivers outcomes that matter.

Purpose-built for investment professionals

Unlike generic AI tools that understand nothing about your business, Nexus AI is tailored specifically to investment manager compliance processes and financial adviser workflows. It understands Consumer Duty requirements, UKCCI rules, fund disclosure regulations, and the unique challenges of financial services.

It embeds directly into daily operations rather than requiring teams to adopt another standalone tool that creates more complexity instead of reducing it.

Powered by the industry's golden source of truth

Generic AI tools hallucinate. They confidently state incorrect information because they're trained on internet data rather than verified fund data. Nexus AI is powered by FE fundinfo's trusted foundation—the industry's golden source:

9 million static data points refreshed monthly

7 million prices updated

1.5 million documents processed monthly

550,000+ regulatory documents annually

100,000+ active funds across 300,000+ share classes globally

75+ jurisdictions with 30+ years of regulatory expertise

ISO 27001/9001 certified infrastructure

Secure by design, embedded by default

No data leaves your firewall. No client information trains external models. No regulatory requirements are compromised. Nexus AI operates within your security perimeter, meeting the same ISO 27001/9001 standards that protect the rest of the Nexus platform.

And because it's embedded directly into the Nexus platform, FE CashCalc, and FE Analytics—systems your teams already use—adoption happens naturally rather than requiring change management programmes and lengthy training.

Fast, frictionless adoption

Conversational AI and embedded guidance make it easy to use and quick to deliver value. Teams start benefiting immediately—without lengthy training programmes, complex integration projects, or workflow disruptions.

The real cost of fragmented workflows

Investment managers: efficiency under strain

Nearly 9 in 10 firms face commercial pressure to deliver fund data updates faster and more accurately. Yet 37% report that regulatory document production consumes the most resources, and 46% cite legacy systems as their biggest operational barrier.

The mathematics is brutal. Compliance teams spend days checking documents manually—days your funds can't reach new markets. Operations teams toggle between systems to update fund data—overhead eating into already-tight margins. Marketing teams can't quickly spot competitive shifts—distribution opportunities lost to competitors who moved faster.

Meanwhile, 51% of investment managers identify managing local disclosure requirements as a top distribution challenge, and 56% point to data fragmentation and siloed systems as key compliance obstacles. Your teams spend too much time navigating obstacles and not enough time creating value.

Financial advisers: capacity directly constrained

Between compliance checks and re-keying data across platforms, the average adviser spends 12 minutes of every client meeting on administrative tasks. Add another hour reconciling information across systems, and a practice managing 150 clients loses 234 hours annually to manual processes.

That's not just wasted time—it's capacity you can't sell, clients you can't serve, and growth you can't achieve. Consumer Duty demands better documentation and clearer communications, yet 61% of advisers spend over 20% of meetings collecting data rather than building relationships.

The result? An industry spending too much time fighting systems and not enough time focusing on the work that creates value: deeper insights, strategic decisions, and stronger client relationships.

From data creation to global distribution

Nexus for investment managers

Investment managers need infrastructure that turns regulatory obligations into distribution opportunities. Nexus delivers integrated capabilities spanning the complete product lifecycle.

Automate KIIDs, EMTs, PRIIPs, and prospectuses across 75+ jurisdictions. Nexus AI validates documents against local disclosure requirements in real-time, flagging inconsistencies before they become compliance issues. Production that previously consumed days now happens in hours—with audit trails that satisfy regulatory scrutiny.

Fund data management and distribution

Maintain a single source of truth across 100,000+ active funds and 300,000+ share classes. Update once and propagate changes automatically across all distribution channels, platforms, and regulatory filings. Eliminate the re-keying and reconciliation that delays market access.

From client servicing to practice growth

Nexus for financial advisers

Financial advisers need systems that enhance rather than constrain capacity. Nexus integrates directly into existing workflows, automating administration whilst preserving personal client relationships.

Automated compliance and documentation

Generate suitability reports, client review documents, and regulatory evidence automatically. Nexus AI extracts key information and maps it to compliance requirements, and produces audit-ready documentation—turning 12 minutes of administrative overhead per meeting into seconds.

Unified research and analysis

Tax-aware cashflow planning

Model client scenarios with precision using tax calculations updated for current UK legislation. The 'Meet a Goal' tool determines whether plans achieve objectives and suggests specific adjustments when they fall short.

Portfolio construction and rebalancing

Map client objectives to suitable solutions in 15 seconds rather than 45 minutes. Intelligence that turns portfolio construction from research project into systematic process.

Practice management and oversight

Track adviser activity, client touchpoints, and compliance metrics through consolidated dashboards. Demonstrate Consumer Duty adherence through comprehensive management information that supports both growth and regulatory confidence.

What changes when you're no longer fighting your systems?

Time returns to strategic priorities. Risk becomes manageable rather than overwhelming. Growth becomes achievable rather than aspirational.

The work that drew you into this industry—creating investment solutions, building client relationships, driving business strategy—moves from the margins back to the centre where it belongs.

The choice facing investment professionals

The industry isn't slowing down. Regulations won't become simpler. Client expectations won't decrease. Technology that seemed optional three years ago is now essential for competitiveness.

Over 53% of investment managers see technological disruption as a top threat. Meanwhile, 64% are prioritising investment in automation and digitisation, recognising that survival depends on working smarter rather than just working harder.

Investment managers and financial advisers face a straightforward choice: continue absorbing growing complexity with manual processes and fragmented tools, or embed intelligence that turns complexity into competitive advantage.

Nexus AI represents the latter path. Not more technology to manage—intelligence embedded into the workflows that already define your day, powered by the data that already underpins your industry, delivering the outcomes that already determine your success.
