Autonomous aims to provide best in class research content, which is available to our clients. From time to time we make some content available more broadly, including video explainers of key topics our analysts are focused on. Please contact us if you are a professional investor and would like further information on becoming a client.
We are pleased to inform you that AllianceBernstein (‘AB’) has made an offer to acquire Autonomous whereby Autonomous would become part of AB Group. We believe that the combination will enable us to deliver broader and deeper services to you, our client.
Bank operating systems are often complex and dated, leading to questions as to whether we are about to see a surge in core processor outsourcing.
