The latest episode of Portfolio Checklist is now available. In the first segment the show reviewed Tuesday’s major outage at Revolut, which prevented some users from paying with cards, withdrawing cash, making transfers or exchanging currencies. Turzó Ádám, a financial analyst at Portfolio, spoke about the background and implications of the disruption.
The discussion covered which services were affected and how the interruption could impact customers’ day-to-day banking in the short term. They also considered what information is needed to assess the causes of such incidents and their effect on customer trust.
AI in asset management
The second block examined how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming asset management. The guest was Ács Tamás, head of K&H Alapkezelő. The conversation highlighted that AI accelerates data processing, enables the discovery of new correlations and supports investment decision-making.
At the same time, the show addressed the limits and risks of the technology: they discussed where AI’s applicability ends, what error sources and biases can arise, and how realistic it is that AI could eventually replace investment professionals.
