Euroclear FundsPlace has added Macquarie Asset Management to its growing roster of private-markets managers, giving wealth advisers across Europe, Asia and the Middle East a route into private infrastructure, an asset class that until recently sat almost entirely with institutions.

Fiserv has built AI product discovery and an AI website builder into Clover, its point-of-sale platform for small businesses, pushing a franchise of about 900,000 merchants into online retail at the moment consumers are starting to shop through AI assistants rather than a search box.
