Fabio Dias is a Brazilian computer scientist, entrepreneur and academic. He is known for his role structuring Exchange-traded notes listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange[2][3] and supporting them with a robo-advisory platform of his authorship.[4] He also teaches financial modelling and applied computer science disciplines at the University of Surrey.[5][6]
Education
[edit]Born in Brazil, Dias self-taught computer programming while doing his secondary education, getting a job as a software developer.[1] He obtained a BSc in Computer Science from the University of São Paulo and a Master of Science in Statistics from the same university. He completed his PhD in Econometrics and Statistical Science at the University College London.
Career
[edit]He subsequently relocated from Brazil to the United Kingdom, joining the technology and risk management department of Credit Suisse and thereafter moving to a senior manager role at Lloyds Banking Group. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he was appointed to an academic role at the University of Surrey.[7]
After leaving the banking industry, Dias used results from his joint research with Gareth W. Peters on machine learning applied to stock market prediction[8] to set up an investment company, subsequently issuing exchange-traded notes and supporting them with robo-advisory services to facilitate investments by retail investors.[9]
Dias' business is known for employing a substantial level of automation and use of artificial intelligence.[10][11]
His activities have been subject of some criticism in his home country, with a Brazilian scholar publicly stating that Dias "could have made better use of technological advances in a way that generates investment within Brazil itself."[12]
