FIMM: FIMMAC 2025 – Navigating the Future

9 October 2025 | The Vertical, Bangsar South

FIMMAC 2025 was held on 9 October 2025, with the theme of “Navigating the Future”. This year, the focus was on the change, innovation, and growth of the unit trust industry over the years.

ICMR Director, Datin Sri Azleen was invited to speak at a panel discussion titled “AI-volution in Fund Management”. Together with panel members En. Muzzaffar Othman, Group Chief Operations Officer of Pelaburan Nasional Berhad, and Mr. Xav Feng, Director of LSEG Lipper Asia Pacific Research, and moderator En. Mohd Ridzal Mohd Sheriff, they discussed the evolution of AI within the fund management industry. The session explored AI’s expanding impact, from back-end automation to its growing influence on front-end investment decisions and client interactions. A key takeaway was that future regulation will likely focus not on limiting AI, but on ensuring users are accountable for their choices. Despite technological advancements, the human touch remains central, understanding investor needs and providing value-added services, rather than just selling products, is a critical skill that defines the role of unit trust consultants.
