In celebration of World Mental Health Day on the 10th of October, this week we launched our month-long Brilliant Minds campaign by hearing from Dr. Helen Reynolds, Specialist Clinical Psychologist, about understanding stress and exploring wellbeing. We learned that stress is an ‘alert’ to our brains and our bodies that something needs to change. A certain level of stress can produce an energizing effect and create a drive to get things done, however if it tips too far to the extreme, can soon negatively impact our wellbeing. When the feeling of stress becomes overwhelming and begins to impair our wellbeing, it is important to find strategies to boost us back to health. Key steps to mental wellbeing include connecting with other people, being physically active, learning new skills, altruism, and paying attention to the present moment. #SustainableHealth #TheCitcoWay

Speaking at the With Intelligence EU Private Service Summit, Sam Metland, Executive Vice President and Head of Private Equity Product, Citco (UK) Limited, featured on the ‘Modernising your GP: The Future of Technology and operations’ panel, whereby he discussed the growing demand for digitization in the private markets sector. As Sam noted: “We need to design our processes to be data led, not human led – we must stop putting information into PDFs as a way of sharing data between systems and organizations. In the private markets sector, there has been a lot of talk about Blockchain, machine learning and artificial intelligence, but at the moment there are only a small number of real use cases – going forward, managers must own their master data if they want to digitize their processes.” Thank you to With Intelligence for a great event, and Sam for your insights. #PrivateEquity #Digitization #MachineLearning #Blockchain #AI
