ING is continuing to improve decision-making in bond trading. On 10 October, the bank launched Katana Lens, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that helps investors to easily find and compare interesting trade ideas.

Co-created with Dutch pension fund PGGM, Katana Lens is a web-based application that uses predictive analytics to help bond investors make faster and sharper decisions within minutes.

“What used to take forever, now only takes five minutes and a cup of coffee,” said Santiago Braje, global head of Credit Trading, who announced Katana Lens today at the Artificial Intelligence Summit.
