Murex launches AI research initiative for capital markets

By Milan Rojan

Murex has launched a dedicated artificial intelligence (AI) research initiative aimed at exploring how AI could reshape capital markets and support the future development of financial technology.

Elias Eddé, CEO of Murex, said: “AI is reshaping how financial markets operate, how decisions are made, and ultimately how value is created across the industry.”

The new programme has brought together researchers, AI specialists and academic partners to study the long-term impact of artificial intelligence on financial institutions and market infrastructure. The initiative will focus on applications spanning the capital markets value chain, including pricing, risk management, modelling, operations, post-trade processes and finance.

Through the initiative, Murex has aimed to generate research that will help the industry better understand emerging technologies and prepare for future market developments.

Ludan Stoecklé, Programme Director of Murex AI Research, said: “We are collaborating with leading French universities and contributing openly to AI research for capital markets.”

Research priorities include AI-driven modelling and pricing, intelligent automation, explainable and responsible AI, advanced analytics, decision-support systems and emerging AI technologies with potential applications across financial markets.

The initiative has also been designed to support collaboration between industry and academia. Murex said it will work with universities and research institutions, support doctoral research, publish scientific papers and contribute to open-source AI projects.

Beyond academic research, the programme has been established to inform the future evolution of Murex’s MX.3 platform by connecting frontier AI research with practical applications for financial institutions. The company said the initiative would also provide insights to support product development, strategic planning and innovation as AI adoption across global capital markets continues to accelerate.
