Robert Herro, Chief Financial Mentor and Director of Investment Management at STARX Capital Markets Ltd., once again took center stage as he led an engaging and forward-thinking seminar on artificial intelligence (AI) in finance during the Global Investment Conference held in London this month. Known for his leadership in integrating cutting-edge technology into traditional finance, Robert Herro’s seminar attracted hundreds of attendees, including institutional investors, financial analysts, and technology experts eager to learn from one of the industry’s most respected voices.

The seminar, titled “AI and the Future of Investment: Strategies for the New Financial Frontier,” focused on how AI and machine learning are revolutionizing investment management and reshaping global financial markets. Robert Herro, who has spearheaded AI-driven strategies at STARX, shared practical insights and real-world case studies demonstrating the transformative power of AI in portfolio management, risk assessment, and market forecasting.

“AI has moved from being a theoretical tool to a practical application that is driving performance, increasing accuracy, and reducing risk for investors around the world. The future of finance will be built on the foundations of AI and data analytics, and those who embrace it early will lead the charge.” Robert Herro elaborated.

Opening the session, Robert Herro spoke about the exponential growth of AI in the financial industry over the last decade. “We are witnessing a seismic shift in how investment decisions are made,” Robert Herro began. “AI has moved from being a theoretical tool to a practical application that is driving performance, increasing accuracy, and reducing risk for investors around the world. The future of finance will be built on the foundations of AI and data analytics, and those who embrace it early will lead the charge.”

Over the course of the 90-minute seminar, Robert Herro broke down the complexities of AI into accessible topics, demonstrating how STARX has successfully implemented machine learning models to optimize trading strategies and generate superior returns for clients. He discussed how AI algorithms analyze vast datasets in real-time, allowing STARX’s portfolio managers to make quicker, more informed investment decisions. One example Robert Herro highlighted was STARX’s AI-powered quantitative trading system, which has outperformed traditional human-managed portfolios by identifying subtle market patterns and inefficiencies that human analysts might overlook.

To make the session interactive, Robert Herro introduced live demonstrations of STARX’s proprietary AI tools, showing attendees how the technology is used in real-time to analyze markets and execute trades. The audience was particularly captivated by a demonstration of an AI-driven risk management tool that STARX has developed, which can instantly recalibrate portfolios to minimize exposure during periods of heightened volatility. Attendees were able to see firsthand how AI can react to live market data and make split-second decisions that protect client investments.

“At STARX, we have built robust oversight processes to ensure that our AI systems operate transparently and that clients understand how these tools are being used to manage their assets.” Robert Herro said.

Robert Herro also addressed the broader ethical considerations of integrating AI into financial services, emphasizing STARX’s commitment to transparency and responsible AI usage. “While AI offers enormous potential, it’s critical that we implement these tools in a way that upholds trust and ensures fairness,” he stated. “At STARX, we have built robust oversight processes to ensure that our AI systems operate transparently and that clients understand how these tools are being used to manage their assets.”

The seminar concluded with a lively Q&A session, where Robert Herro fielded questions from both seasoned investors and newcomers to the world of AI. Many attendees were keen to learn more about how they could begin implementing AI in their own organizations, and Robert Herro provided practical advice on starting small and scaling AI initiatives gradually, ensuring they are backed by strong human expertise. “AI is a tool that amplifies human decision-making, not a replacement for it,” he noted, reiterating his belief in the synergy between technology and human insight.

The event was widely regarded as one of the highlights of the Global Investment Forum, with attendees praising Robert Herro for his clear, insightful presentation and his ability to make complex technological concepts relatable. Several participants expressed that the seminar not only deepened their understanding of AI’s potential but also inspired them to explore new strategies for incorporating technology into their investment processes.

Beyond the seminar itself, Robert Herro’s presence at the conference extended beyond the stage. He was a featured speaker at several panel discussions and participated in private roundtables with industry leaders, further reinforcing his reputation as a thought leader in both finance and technology. Throughout the week-long event, Robert Herro was actively involved in networking sessions, where he connected with other executives and investors to discuss the future of AI in finance.

One of the key takeaways from Robert Herro’s engagements at the conference was his belief in the power of collaboration between finance professionals and tech innovators. He spoke about STARX’s ongoing partnerships with fintech companies and AI startups, which have allowed the firm to remain at the cutting edge of AI development. “At STARX, we are constantly exploring new collaborations to push the boundaries of what’s possible,” he explained during one of the roundtable discussions. “By working with some of the brightest minds in AI, we’re able to deliver real value to our clients and drive the industry forward.”

Robert Herro’s leadership in this area goes beyond just financial strategy. He has also been a vocal advocate for financial education, regularly conducting workshops and seminars aimed at demystifying AI for the next generation of finance professionals. At the London conference, he announced plans for STARX to sponsor a series of global webinars, starting in the fall of 2024, that will focus on educating young professionals about the intersection of AI and finance. These webinars will be open to the public and will cover topics ranging from the basics of AI in financial analysis to more advanced applications in portfolio management.

As the seminar wrapped up, Robert Herro took a moment to reflect on the rapid changes taking place in the industry and expressed his excitement about what lies ahead. “We are only scratching the surface of what AI can do in finance,” he told the audience. “The next five to ten years will bring more advancements than we can even imagine right now, and I’m thrilled to be a part of that journey.”

Robert Herro’s seminar at the Global Investment Forum was a testament to his role as a pioneer in the financial industry, leading not only in the adoption of AI but also in shaping how the next generation of professionals will approach finance in an increasingly digital world. His ability to balance cutting-edge technology with practical financial insights has cemented his position as a thought leader who is helping to redefine the future of investment.

Press Release

CGTN Poll: Trump’s approval rating plummets after 100 days in office

Published

47 minutes ago

on

May 1, 2025

By

One hundred days into his second term, U.S. President Donald Trump and his “America First” policy are facing mounting challenges, according to new CGTN polls.

In February and April this year, CGTN conducted two global public opinion surveys involving 15,947 respondents from 38 countries.

Findings show a sharp decline in American public satisfaction with Trump’s governance. His tariff-centric approach and “America First” policy have triggered growing pessimism among respondents from both traditional U.S. allies and the Global South regarding future relations with the United States. The administration now faces a serious global trust deficit.

Global confidence in the U.S. declines

In the April survey, 48.9 percent of American respondents expressed dissatisfaction with Trump’s performance since taking office. Of those, 53.1 percent criticized his “reciprocal tariffs” policy for damaging the U.S. stock market, while 60.4 percent believed his domestic economic policies failed to control inflation and instead caused price increases. Meanwhile, 54 percent expressed serious concerns about his interest rate policies.

Discontent is also rising globally. Respondents from key U.S. allies expressed deep concern over strained ties with Washington. In France, Germany, Canada, Japan, and South Korea, more than 70 percent of respondents were pessimistic about their countries’ future relations with the U.S. Many cited the belief that the “America First” doctrine has made the U.S. less attentive to its allies. This sentiment was strongest in South Korea, where 87 percent strongly agreed, and over 70 percent in the UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, and Italy shared the view.

Likewise, confidence among Global South countries has rapidly declined. Of the 23 surveyed, 19 expressed pessimism about future ties with the U.S. In South Africa, Egypt, Peru, Indonesia, and Malaysia, optimism dropped by more than 20 percentage points.

Tariff bullying damages global public’s goodwill towards the U.S.

Both surveys found widespread opposition to U.S. tariff policy. Some 74.2 percent of global respondents believe the policy will seriously harm their countries’ economic development – a figure up 16.3 percentage points in just two months. Disapproval grew most in Saudi Arabia and Serbia, where negative views surged by 28.5 percentage points.

In Southeast Asia, countries like Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia – seen as “hard-hit areas” of U.S. tariffs – have shown growing resistance. Among respondents in these five countries, 60.2 percent believe “strengthening export controls and unilateral sanctions” harms their national development, up 15.5 percentage points from the previous survey. Meanwhile, 69.4 percent opposed “limiting investment by foreign technology enterprises” (up 14.3 percentage points), and 61.5 percent viewed U.S. “reducing dependence on foreign imports and supply chains” as detrimental to their countries (up 12.3 percentage points).

China’s firm countermeasures against U.S. tariffs received strong global backing. In 37 out of 38 countries surveyed, majorities supported China’s actions. Support among developing countries was especially strong – 13 countries, including Kenya, Egypt, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Malaysia, the UAE, and South Africa, saw support rates above 70 percent, with Kenya topping the list at 82.5 percent. Among developed countries, the UK led the G7 with a 70.5 percent support rate, followed by Canada (69.5 percent), Germany (66 percent), and France (65.5 percent).

The surveys were jointly conducted by CGTN and Renmin University of China via the Institute of International Communication in the New Era. Respondents included individuals from developed countries such as the U.S., the UK, France, and Japan, as well as from developing nations including Mexico, South Africa, and Malaysia.
