With this partnership, VP Bank takes another big step in pursuit of its Strategy 2026 goal of developing into an international open wealth service provider.

Focussing on the client

In addition to offering clients personalised advice, data-based artificial intelligence can help VP Bank react to rapidly a client’s changing needs and offer suitable solutions quickly.

Dr. Felix Brill, VP Bank’s Chief Investment Officer puts it this way: “Essentially, it's about solving problems with the help of data. For example, which stock is the best fit for a specific portfolio? How can we ensure that clients get the information that’s really important to them? And that it’s delivered at the right time? For us, artificial intelligence is a forward-looking and therefore strategic issue.”

With the AI Center at ETH Zurich, VP Bank now has the ideal partner for the systematic analysis of data and for its development into a more data-driven organisation.

In addition to access to cutting-edge research, applications and trends in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning, the partnership also offers the opportunity to develop each other’s talents and to organise topic-specific research and events.”

Alexander Ilic, Co-Founder & Executive Director of the AI Center, says, "Artificial intelligence will change many businesses as well as other aspects of our lives. Making the best of AI`s potential needs innovative partners like VP Bank, who are open to shaping the future in a positive way through dialogue between research and practice."
