Through their flagship venture capital strategy, HSBC Asset Management is investing in Model ML, a London-founded AI startup, to scale the bank’s agentic operating system for financial services.
According to the firm, the funding supports the growth of Model ML as the focus of enterprise AI shifts from individual models to the systems required to implement them.
Model ML says their platform is purpose-built for financial services, helping to automate complex workflows across many aspects while maintaining governance, accuracy, and consistency.
The model-agnostic approach routes each task to the AI model best suited for the specific job.
Chaz Englander, CEO and co-founder of Model ML, says: “Rather than a single model, the differentiator is increasingly the software that can orchestrate multiple models across complex financial workflows. That’s exactly what we’re building.”
Patrick Sixsmith, head of Venture Capital at HSBC Asset Management, says: “AI and next-generation software are driving a new wave of innovation across the economy.
“This investment through our flagship VC strategy reflects our focus on backing companies operating at the forefront of these themes.”
