Investment Intelligence That Reasons With Your Methodology

Your AI Twin trained on your proprietary models, your risk frameworks, your regulatory obligations — delivering suitability-grade reasoning with full audit traceability. No hallucination by design.

The Challenge

Why Generic AI Is a Risk in Financial Services

Asset managers, advisors, and compliance teams operate under relentless regulatory pressure — MiFID II, CONSOB, ESG/SFDR, Basel III — all evolving simultaneously. Generic AI tools treat finance as a general knowledge problem. Financial services demand auditable, personalized reasoning.

📊

The Regulatory Avalanche

MiFID II suitability requirements, SFDR sustainability disclosures, CONSOB communications, AIFMD obligations — they evolve in parallel and interact in complex ways. No human team can track the cross-impact of all these on every portfolio, product, and client. A missed regulatory update means sanctions, not just inefficiency.

⚖️

Suitability Is a Reasoning Problem

An advisor can't just recommend a product — they must demonstrate why it fits this specific client, given their risk profile, investment horizon, ESG preferences, and existing positions. Generic AI gives generic answers. Regulators demand personalized, documented justification.

🧠

Expertise Concentration Risk

A senior Portfolio Manager's methodology — how they evaluate sectors, which signals they weight, their risk instincts developed over decades — lives entirely in their head. When they leave, years of alpha-generating insight disappear overnight. No generic tool captures proprietary investment methodology.

⏱️

Speed vs. Compliance

Markets move in milliseconds, but compliance requires documentation and audit trails for every decision. The gap between "I need to act now" and "I need to document why" creates real business risk. Generic AI is either fast but undocumented, or compliant but useless.

Financial services don't need another market news aggregator with a chat interface.
They need an AI that reasons like your best analyst — trained on your methodology, compliant by design, auditable at every step.

How PRISM Solves It

Four Layers of Intelligence, Built for Financial Precision

1
WHO is the Twin?

Identity Layer

Define the role, specialization, regulatory jurisdiction, and analytical approach. Your Twin becomes a portfolio manager, a compliance officer, a credit analyst, or a wealth advisor — with the rigor and precision your clients and regulators demand.

Example configuration: "Senior Equity Portfolio Manager, quantitative approach, always cite risk metrics and benchmark deviations, Italian market focus with CONSOB regulatory awareness, respond in Italian and English, conservative risk bias."
2
WHAT does it know?

Knowledge Layer

Upload your proprietary investment methodologies, IPS documents, regulatory frameworks, portfolio guidelines, and historical research. The Twin knows your firm's entire institutional intelligence — and critically, knows what falls outside its verified knowledge base.

Example uploads: Firm's investment policy statements, MiFID II suitability framework, CONSOB communications archive (2020-2025), ESG classification methodology, 5 years of internal research reports, client risk profiling criteria, portfolio concentration limits.
3
HOW does it write?

Style Layer

The Twin learns your reporting style — your analytical structure, your way of presenting risk assessments, your format for client communications. Investment reports, factsheets, and board presentations read as if your best analyst wrote them.

Example: The Head of Research uploads 60 quarterly investment reports. The Twin learns her structure: macro outlook → sector positioning → key conviction calls → risk factors → portfolio attribution. Every generated report matches her analytical voice and formatting standards.
4
HOW does it think?

Reasoning Layer

This is where PRISM transforms investment management. The Twin doesn't just retrieve market data — it cross-references proposed allocations against client risk profiles, regulatory limits, your firm's internal guidelines, and current market conditions to deliver suitability-grade recommendations with full audit trails.

Example: "The proposed 15% EM bond allocation exceeds the client's IPS limit (max 10% for moderate-conservative profiles). Given 3 recent CONSOB communications on EM risk and your firm's current duration stance, I recommend capping at 8% with IG sovereign focus — aligned with your Q4 investment committee position."

What One Financial Team Can Do

Single-Tenant Use Cases

Even a single desk, advisory team, or boutique firm benefits from PRISM's financial reasoning. No enterprise-wide deployment required — just your methodology, your data, your Twin.

📈

Investment Research & Analysis

The Twin analyzes markets through the lens of your proprietary methodology — not generic commentary. Sector evaluations, company assessments, and thematic research structured around the signals and frameworks your team actually uses.

Scenario: "Based on your sector scoring model, the European utilities sector now meets 4 of 5 criteria for tactical overweight: improving earnings revisions, attractive P/E vs. 10Y average, positive regulatory tailwinds, and supportive dividend yields. Missing: momentum still negative on 3M basis. Recommend watchlist upgrade per your framework."
👤

Client Suitability Assessment

Cross-references the client's risk profile, IPS constraints, investment horizon, ESG preferences, and current portfolio against any proposed recommendation — delivering MiFID II–ready justification with full documentation.

Scenario: "Proposed structured product for Client Rossi (moderate-conservative, 5Y horizon, ESG Article 8 preference): product complexity exceeds client's financial literacy score (3/5 per your profiling). MiFID II suitability assessment flags 2 concerns. Recommending simpler alternatives from your approved product list."
🎯

Portfolio Risk Monitoring

Continuous assessment of portfolio exposures against internal limits, regulatory thresholds, and evolving market conditions. Not a static dashboard — reasoning that connects position changes to risk implications in real time.

Scenario: "Fund Alpha's technology sector exposure has reached 28.3%, approaching your 30% concentration limit. Combined with the USD overweight (currently 42% vs. benchmark 35%), the tracking error projection exceeds your investment committee's Q1 guidance of 3.5%. Recommending review at next weekly allocation meeting."
🛡️

Regulatory Compliance Monitoring

Tracks MiFID II, CONSOB communications, ESG/SFDR updates, and AIFMD changes — then reasons about what impacts your specific portfolios, processes, and client relationships. Not a news feed; an impact analysis engine.

Scenario: "New CONSOB Communication No. 12/2025 on cost transparency affects 3 of your product fact sheets. Cross-referencing with your current disclosure templates, I've identified specific sections requiring updates and a compliance deadline of June 30. Draft amendments prepared in your standard format."
🌐

Market Intelligence & Sentiment

Market analysis contextualized with your institutional view — not generic news summaries. The Twin weighs market signals against your firm's positioning, open trades, and investment thesis to surface what actually matters for your decisions.

Scenario: "ECB rate decision today: market pricing 25bp cut at 78% probability. Your fixed income portfolio is positioned for steepening (long 2Y, short 10Y). If cut materializes as expected, your current duration positioning benefits. However, the 10Y Bund yield at 2.1% approaches your tactical target — I recommend reviewing the short leg per your interest rate strategy framework."
📝

Report & Document Generation

Client reports, factsheets, board presentations, and regulatory filings — all generated in your firm's established format and voice. Every output is review-ready, properly sourced, and aligned with your compliance requirements.

Scenario: "Monthly client report for Portfolio Balanced EUR generated in your standard template: performance attribution (Brinson model), top/bottom contributors, rebalancing activity summary, market outlook, and ESG score evolution. Ready for PM review — estimated time saved: 3 hours per portfolio, 45 hours across your 15 mandates."

Enterprise: Cross-Department Reasoning

When Multiple Financial Twins Work Together

In asset management firms, banks, and insurance companies, PRISM's true power emerges: specialized Twins in portfolio management, risk, compliance, research, and distribution share reasoning across departmental boundaries — catching conflicts, validating decisions, and accelerating workflows.

📊 Real-Time Allocation Risk Assessment

Portfolio Mgmt Twin Risk Twin

When a PM proposes an allocation change, the Risk Twin doesn't just check a static limit — it runs the proposal through VaR models, concentration rules, stress scenarios, and regulatory thresholds simultaneously, delivering a unified risk assessment before the trade is placed.

PM Twin

Proposes rotating 5% from Euro IG credit to European high yield to capture spread compression

Cross-Reasoning

Risk Twin: HY allocation would reach 18% (limit 20%), but combined with existing EM debt, sub-IG exposure hits 31% (limit 30%)

Decision Support

Recommends reducing EM debt by 2% first, then executing HY rotation — keeps all limits compliant with 1.5% buffer

Impact: Allocation change executed same-day with pre-validated risk compliance, instead of a 48-hour back-and-forth between PM desk and risk team. No limit breach. Full audit trail for the investment committee.

✅ Pre-Validated Advisory Recommendations

Advisory Twin Compliance Twin

Before a financial advisor presents a recommendation to a client, the Compliance Twin pre-checks it against MiFID II suitability rules, CONSOB guidance, ESG classification requirements, and the client's specific profile — the recommendation goes out already validated.

Advisory Twin

Advisor prepares recommendation: multi-asset ESG fund for conservative client with 10Y horizon

Cross-Reasoning

Compliance Twin checks: MiFID II suitability ✓, ESG Article 8 alignment ✓, but product cost (TER 1.8%) exceeds firm's value-for-money threshold for conservative profiles

Validated Output

Suggests lower-cost alternative (TER 0.9%) from approved list with equivalent ESG score — suitability documentation auto-generated

Impact: Every client recommendation leaves the firm pre-validated for MiFID II suitability, cost appropriateness, and ESG alignment. Compliance review time reduced from 2 days to instant. Zero post-sale remediation risk.

📡 Unified Intelligence Distribution

Research Twin Distribution Twin

The Research Twin produces a deep market insight. The Distribution Twin automatically reformats it for three different audiences — institutional clients, retail advisory networks, and regulatory filings — same analysis, three outputs, consistent messaging, zero duplication of effort.

Research Twin

Produces Q1 European equity outlook: 12-page institutional-grade analysis with sector views and conviction calls

Cross-Reasoning

Distribution Twin adapts: complexity level, disclosure requirements, and format for each audience segment

Three Outputs

Reasoning in Action

See the Difference Between Retrieval and Investment Reasoning

Investment Query

"The client wants to increase their emerging market bond allocation to 15%. Should we proceed with this allocation change?"

⚠️ Generic AI Response

RETRIEVAL

"Emerging market bonds can offer higher yields but carry additional risks including currency risk, political instability, and liquidity constraints. A 15% allocation is within typical ranges for diversified portfolios."

"Consider the client's risk tolerance, investment horizon, and existing portfolio composition. It may be advisable to diversify across multiple EM regions and favor investment-grade issuers."

❌ No knowledge of this client's specific risk profile or IPS

❌ No awareness of your firm's internal exposure limits

❌ No cross-reference with current regulatory guidance

❌ No consideration of existing portfolio positions

❌ Generic textbook answer — no suitability documentation

🧠 PRISM Finance Twin

REASONING

Client profile check: Client classified as moderate-conservative (MiFID II risk score 3/7). IPS specifies maximum 10% allocation to emerging markets across all asset classes. Current EM equity exposure: 3.2%.

Source: Client IPS — signed March 2024, last review October 2024

Regulatory cross-reference: 3 CONSOB Communications this quarter highlighted EM concentration risk and inadequate diversification in retail portfolios. CONSOB Communication 8/2025 specifically flagged EM bond allocations above 10% in conservative-to-moderate profiles.

Source: CONSOB Communications 6/2025, 7/2025, 8/2025 — uploaded Jan 2025

Firm positioning: Your investment committee's Q4 position paper recommends defensive duration management and caution on EM credit spreads given Fed rate uncertainty. Internal guideline: max 8% EM bonds for profiles below risk score 5.

Source: Investment Committee Minutes Q4 2024 + Internal Risk Policy v2.1

Market context: Current EM bond spreads at 320bps over US Treasuries — below 5Y average of 380bps. Limited compensation for additional risk at current levels. EM FX volatility elevated (JPM EM FX Vol Index at 11.2 vs 9.8 average).

Source: Market data integration + firm's macro dashboard

Recommendation: Proposed 15% exceeds both the client's IPS limit (10%) and your firm's internal guideline (8%). Recommend capping at 8% EM bond allocation, focused on investment-grade sovereign issuers with duration below 5Y. Total EM exposure (equity + bonds) would be 11.2% — within IPS tolerance.
