KFin Technologies, in collaboration with Ascent Fund Services and the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) Association, hosted the Tech Transformation and Portfolio Construction in Alternative Investments and Private Wealth summit in May 2025 at M Hotel Singapore. The event gathered over 30 industry stakeholders to discuss the impact of technology on investment strategies.
The summit highlighted how artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, and digital platforms are revolutionising portfolio construction across traditional and alternative asset classes. Sreekanth Nadella, Managing Director and CEO of KFin Technologies, introduced the company’s next-generation integrated platform aimed at modernising fund administration. Nadella stated, “At KFintech, we’re not just looking at fund administration as a back-office task—we see it as a powerful tool that can help investment firms work smarter, manage risk better, and connect more closely with their clients.”
A central panel discussion, “The Contrast of Public and Private Assets in the Portfolio Mix,” was moderated by Senthil Gunasekaran, Chief Business Development Officer at KFin Technologies. Panellists, including Alexandra McGuigan, Head of APAC at Qblue Balanced, and Steve Knabl, Managing Partner at Wealth Management Alliance, explored the influence of trade dynamics, regulatory frameworks, and investor behaviour on capital flow between asset classes.
Key topics addressed included the role of digital infrastructure in fund administration, interactions between public and private markets, and leveraging AI for asset-level analysis. The event concluded with a networking session, fostering partnerships within the regional investment community.
