UK-based fintech startup Permutable AI, specialising in AI-driven market intelligence, has announced its expansion into the Asia-Pacific region as institutional demand accelerates for real-time, explainable market insight.
Founded in London, Permutable AI has built its platform to help investment and risk teams understand how global events, policy decisions and narrative shifts translate into market impact. The move into Asia-Pacific marks a key milestone in the company’s international growth, driven by rising engagement from Asia-based and Asia-focused investment firms, commodities desks and energy traders.
Asia’s growing influence on global commodities, energy flows and macro geopolitics has increased the need for tools that go beyond traditional market data. Permutable AI’s technology applies machine learning and natural language processing to live global news and event streams, identifying the themes, entities and sentiment shifts shaping market behaviour in real time.
To support its regional expansion, Permutable AI has appointed Graham Emo, a senior industry professional with extensive experience working with institutional clients across Asia-Pacific. Graham has previously held senior roles supporting macroeconomic and financial data solutions at Macrobond and will lead regional client engagement.
He will work closely with Michael Brisley, Chief Commercial Officer at Permutable AI, to support firms integrating macro and commodity intelligence into both discretionary decision-making and systematic workflows.
“Asia has always played a central role in commodities and global macro dynamics,” said Wilson Chan, Founder and CEO of Permutable AI. “As a UK startup, expanding into Asia-Pacific reflects strong inbound demand for intelligence that explains not just what is happening in markets, but what it means next.”
Permutable AI’s market intelligence is used by portfolio managers, traders and investment teams to monitor geopolitical risk, sentiment momentum and thematic developments as they emerge. The technology can also be embedded systematically via proprietary sentiment indices to support risk management, scenario analysis and macro-driven investment strategies.
“Institutions increasingly want intelligence that fits directly into their existing investment and risk frameworks,” said Michael Brisley. “Expanding our Asia-Pacific presence allows us to work more closely with clients operating in one of the most globally influential macro regions.”
The expansion reflects a measured, client-led approach to international growth. Rather than pursuing rapid geographic scale, Permutable AI is focused on building depth where relevance and client demand are strongest.
The move forms part of the company’s broader ambition to build a globally connected macro and asset intelligence layer that helps institutions navigate increasingly complex and volatile markets.
