OVERVIEW
ACB Securities (ACBS), one of Vietnam’s leading securities and investment service providers, is transforming its research and advisory operations through Generative AI. With the growing complexity of financial data and the rising expectations of investors, ACBS recognized the need to modernize its manual, time-consuming research process and provide faster, more consistent insights to both analysts and clients.
To achieve this, ACBS partnered with Renova Cloud, an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner, to design and deploy a Generative AI-powered Investment Analysis Assistant built entirely on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This intelligent platform automates investment research, generates concise financial summaries, and delivers real-time, conversational advisory services through a secure, compliant, and scalable cloud architecture.
KEY CHALLENGES
Operating in a fast-moving financial market, ACBS faced several operational and technological challenges:
- Manual Workflows: Analysts spent hours consolidating financial data from multiple disconnected systems such as FiinTrade, spreadsheets, and market reports.
- Inconsistent Insights: Lack of centralized knowledge base and automation led to variations in report quality and analytical depth.
- Compliance and Security: Financial data handling required strict governance, traceability, and explainable AI outputs.
- Limited AI Expertise: ACBS’s internal team needed support in designing, deploying, and managing an enterprise-grade GenAI environment.
SOLUTION
Renova Cloud designed and implemented a serverless, AI-driven research platform on AWS, combining structured data analytics and unstructured document intelligence to empower analysts and investors alike.
1. Architecture & Deployment
The solution integrates multiple AWS services together with an enterprise-grade AI framework-LangChain, into a unified and intelligent AI ecosystem.
- Amazon Bedrock (Claude 3 Sonnet + Knowledge Bases): Acts as the reasoning layer for report summarization, document synthesis, and conversational Q&A.
- Amazon Redshift: Serves as the financial data warehouse.
- Amazon OpenSearch Service: Indexes unstructured market reports, filings, and research papers for semantic retrieval and grounding of AI responses.
- AWS Lambda & Step Functions: Orchestrate workflows across data sources, enabling parallel execution, automated data processing, and cost optimization.
- Amazon DynamoDB: Stores session data and conversation history with millisecond latency.
- Amazon CloudWatch & LangFuse: Provide continuous observability of performance, cost, and latency, ensuring high system reliability.
- Amazon Cognito, IAM & KMS: Manage user authentication, access control, and encryption for compliance with financial security standards.
2. Security & Governance
The entire architecture is built with end-to-end encryption, role-based IAM policies, and CloudTrail auditing for full traceability. Every AI-generated output is logged with metadata—model version, data source, and prompt ID—ensuring accountability and regulatory compliance.
3. Validation & Knowledge Transfer
Following deployment, Renova Cloud conducted performance benchmarking and user acceptance testing, validating accuracy, latency, and scalability under production load. ACBS’s IT and analyst teams received dedicated training on prompt management, dashboard monitoring, and system governance, enabling full self-management of the platform.
