What happened
Mercer surveyed asset managers regarding their current use and plans for integrating artificial intelligence. The survey found that 91% of asset managers reported plans to increase their use of AI-based portfolio management tools this year. Currently, fewer than half-a-dozen ETFs rely solely on AI-powered bots for research and stock selection. The performance of these AI-only funds has reportedly beaten the market, despite having short track records.
Why it matters
AI is slowly integrating into the investment processes of most asset managers, moving beyond niche applications. This trend suggests a shift in how investment decisions are made, offering a third investment option where AI handles stock picking. The growing use of AI tools could change the operational costs and investment strategies within the industry.
Investors are seeking ways to modernize asset management by integrating artificial intelligence into their operations.
