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 has business activities in the United Kingdom and Brazil.[5] He also teaches financial modelling and applied computer science disciplines at the University of Surrey.[6][7]
Education and Career
[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 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. He completed his PhD in Econometrics and Statistical Science at the University College London. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he was appointed to an academic role at the University of Surrey.[8]
In 2020, Dias left the banking industry and founded an investment management fintech company named Stalwart Holdings. Dias used results from his joint research with Gareth W. Peters on machine learning applied to stock market prediction[9] as the basis of the investment methodology used by his company, subsequently issuing exchange-traded notes and supporting them with robo-advisory services to facilitate investments by retail investors.[10]
Dias' business is known for employing a substantial level of automation and use of artificial intelligence.[11][12] The technology developed by Dias has been touted as a possible solution to the ageing workforce problem in the United Kingdom financial advisory sector.[4][13]
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."[5]
