AI and the Investment Edge: Enhancement, Replacement, or Reinvention?

It is already changing how firms conduct research, construct portfolios, manage risk, and make investment decisions. 

In this special compilation episode, we bring together three perspectives from across public markets, hedge funds and private markets, to explore how AI is transforming investment management today and where it may lead tomorrow. 

Andrew Veglio, founder and CEO of Vantage Investment Management, examines where AI sits in the evolution of technologies and argues the end game is replacement not improvement of much of what we, as investors, do. 

Kristian West, Head of Investment Platform at J.P. Morgan Asset Management discusses how they are embedding AI across their global investment platform, sharpening research, investment process and execution.  

Then Lucia Soares, Chief Information Officer and Head of Tech Transformation, shares how Carlyle is using AI to accelerate decision-making, improve portfolio and risk management, and create value across its portfolio companies. 

Together, they discuss AI's impact on alpha generation, research, trading, portfolio construction, productivity, and the implications for the role of human judgement in our investing world.
