Intelligent robots can value complex derivatives in minutes rather than hours

Monte Carlo is synonymous with fast cars, fast money and – in financial circles – a painfully slow way of valuing derivatives.

Now, banks are turning to machine learning in a bid to give their pricing models a turbo-boost.
