AI Pioneers in Investment Management

In this report, we seek to identify high-impact applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data in investments and best practice in their implementation by examining specific use cases. For this purpose, we conducted interviews with investment industry practitioners around the world and from different areas of investments, mostly in April and May 2019. We found that relatively few investment professionals are currently exploiting AI and big data applications in their investment processes. To provide a guidepost for investment firms and individuals seeking to move toward the latest technological frontier, we spoke with a selection of institutions across the globe that are currently using these technologies; these are among the AI pioneers in investment management. Their use cases are illuminating.
