Alter Domus, a global fund administrator to alternative investment managers, says it is well progressed in its AI transition and is embedding AI into its fund-services operations. Positioned as a structural operational shift rather than a pilot, though the release doesn’t specify which workflows were automated.
What is not known: which workflows were automated.
In practice: ask which named fund-services workflows use AI and where staff record review and approval.

Janus Henderson is developing two AI-native tools with Anthropic and General Catalyst-backed Percepta. Prism is a client-intelligence platform for distribution teams. Libros is a research manager that joins proprietary research, external research and market data for analysts. The source describes work being developed and rolled out; it does not establish a named live fund workflow.
What is not known: which workflow is live, its scope, or who approves the outputs.
Suggested control: identify the workflow owner and human approval point before rollout.
In practice: treat the tools as development work until the firm names a live workflow and the reviewer responsible for its outputs.

Who it affectsPortfolio managementCompliance and risk
Mercer’s survey of global asset managers found 55% have integrated AI into at least one investment process, and another 27% are running pilots. In the words of Mercer’s global manager research lead, the technology remains “a partner rather than a decision-maker”. That framing matters for governance: a partner produces inputs a human signs off, which is a very different model-risk and accountability profile from delegated decisions.
In practice: record whether AI produces research input or influences a decision, and keep the named human approver for each use.
