Erasmus School of Law students visiting DSI
On Thursday, December 4, we welcomed a group of master’s students from the Erasmus School of Law to Beursplein 5 as part of the Capital Markets Law course. Beforehand, the students had prepared a robust advisory assignment on regulation, AI and the investment industry.
The afternoon began with a tour by Cherelt Kroeze of Capital Amsterdam, in which the students explored the history of the exchange and the development of our markets. Then Floris Mreijen (Director DSI) and Marc van der Lecq (Lead Legal DSI) took the students through the core of our work: integrity, professional competence and DSI disciplinary law. Using concrete cases, it became clear how standards are applied in practice.
AI, surveillance and the future of advice
An important part of the program was the discussion of our dialogue paper CTRL SHFT: AI in the investment industry. The students linked their own assignment to this document and engaged with us on the impact of AI on execution-only investors, robotic advice and the changing role of the advisor. Nice to see how quickly they made connections between theory, policy and practice.
Connecting science and practice
Finally, Sanne de Lint shared insights from her doctoral research on supervision and forms of self-regulation, which provided lively dialogue and insight into current developments.
A successful afternoon in which science, practice and the future of the financial sector came together. Nice to see how engaged and curious the new generation is about these topics.
