Building on the Fund Boards Council’s work on operational resilience, this webinar will present the findings of FBC’s latest research into the governance implications of firms’ growing dependence on outsourced technology and software providers. The session will explore where responsibility for oversight sits, how the fund board’s role differs from that of other governance bodies, and the key issues directors should consider as technology ecosystems become more complex.

The webinar will also examine the rapid adoption of AI across the asset management industry. Drawing on discussions with fund boards, FBC will share insights into how directors are approaching AI oversight, the governance questions they should be asking of their firms, and practical ways boards are addressing knowledge gaps while ensuring appropriate challenge and accountability.

The session will cover:

• The governance implications of increased reliance on outsourced technology and software providers.
• The fund board’s oversight responsibilities and how they complement those of other governance functions.
• The impact of AI adoption on board oversight and governance expectations.
• The key questions directors should be asking management.
• Practical approaches to building board understanding and maintaining effective oversight in a rapidly evolving landscape.

This webinar is designed for fund board directors and senior executives seeking to strengthen their oversight of digital transformation and ensure their boards remain equipped to provide effective governance in an increasingly technology-driven environment.
