On July 13, 2026, capital markets technology firm Murex launched Murex AI Research, an initiative focused on artificial intelligence research across the entire capital markets value chain. The project combines advanced AI methods, strategic analysis of AI's impact on technology and economics, and applied exploration aimed at improving how financial systems are built and managed.
Scope of the research
The initiative's work spans modelling, pricing, risk management, operations, and post-trade processes. It also includes a strategic analysis of how emergent AI technologies will affect technology, economics, and society. Murex AI Research aims to inform the evolution of the company's MX.3 platform, a cross-asset integrating system used by financial institutions.
Collaboration with academia and industry
The project brings together internal researchers, specialists, and external academic partners to investigate the long-term impact of AI on financial systems. This collaboration is designed to ensure that Murex's research stays grounded in both practical market needs and academic rigour.
CEO's perspective
Elias Eddé, CEO of Murex, said: "AI is not simply another technology cycle. It is reshaping how financial markets operate, how decisions are made, and ultimately how value is created across the industry. Through Murex AI Research, we are investing not only in understanding this transformation, but in helping shape it."
He added: "By bringing together research, experimentation, and collaboration with leading institutions, we aim to advance the frontiers of knowledge and ensure our clients remain at the forefront of the next generation of capital markets."
Why this matters for finance professionals
Murex's initiative signals that AI-driven changes are moving beyond pilot projects and into the core infrastructure of capital markets. Understanding how AI is reshaping pricing, risk management, and operations is becoming essential for finance managers. Structured learning paths, such as the AI Learning Path for Finance Managers, can help teams build the skills needed to adapt to these new tools and workflows.
