ING is adopting Behavox Pathfinder Investment Research to deliver AI-generated research across its FICC front office business.
The bank already partners with Mosaic, the business acquired by Behavox earlier this year for its data analytics platform, the firms say Pathfinder extends this capability, providing front office teams with real-time, plain-language access to ING’s research and market intelligence. They add the roll out is part of the bank’s broader strategy to harness large language models to deliver smarter, on-demand financial intelligence for clients.
“AI has the power to fundamentally change the way clients access and use financial research,” says Simon Bevan, global head of e-trading at ING. “By combining Behavox’s technology with ING’s deep market expertise, we’re creating smarter, faster ways for clients to interact with our insights, helping them make better decisions in a rapidly evolving environment.”
With Pathfinder, Behavox says ING is reinforcing the link between investment research and revenue generation, ensuring that research reaches the right person at the right time, driving more informed client conversations and better commercial outcomes.
“Behavox Pathfinder for Investment Research is built to connect the dots between insight and execution,” explains John Showell, head of strategy and business development at Behavox. “ING saw the opportunity to use AI to drive revenue by distributing research in a smarter way. Pathfinder increases readership, drives trade flow and grows market share. ING has the right focus: putting powerful research into the hands of people who can act on it, when it matters most.”
Nabeel Ebrahim, chief revenue officer at Behavox, adds, “Pathfinder leverages compliance controls to ensure that the information and intelligence provided has the right checks and balances. We are now using our domain-specific LLM not just to solve compliance challenges, but to help customers make money through smarter, safer use of research and intelligence.”
