If Hedge Funds are Using AI to Invest, Why Shouldn’t You?
In today's financial markets, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing a bigger role than ever before. Major financial institutions are investing millions of dollars into developing algorithms that can analyze market patterns, identify trends, and execute automated trades, all to gain an edge even with the slightest price movements.
This AI revolution has grown so significant that the world's top five hedge funds all use systems-based approaches to trade financial markets. According to HFR, quantitative trading hedge funds currently manage $918 billion, which is 30% of the $3 trillion hedge fund industry and continues to increase every year.
For years, hedge funds have been shifting towards AI and computer-based trading systems. Just recently, BlackRock, the largest asset manager globally, announced that it is overhauling its stock investing business to further embrace computer trading. Although this means cutting its human workforce by approximately 40 portfolio managers and employees, the company views this as a logical next phase for its business growth. Mark Wiseman, the man in charge of BlackRock's equities operations, stated that "the old way of people sitting in a room picking stocks, thinking they are smarter than the next guy—that does not work anymore."
In other words, AI is becoming more dominant over human intelligence, and investors are taking notice. Last year, $83 billion flowed out of discretionary hedge fund managers, while $13 billion flowed into quant hedge funds. Machines now occupy the top spots in the hedge fund world.
So, if the smartest hedge fund investors are moving towards AI instead of human intelligence, shouldn't retail investors consider following suit? Until now, retail investors have not had access to AI on any investment platform, nor do they have access to the technology and resources required for data processing.
However, with the launch of Tickeron's new investment platform, retail investors can now use AI for various functions, including identifying stock patterns and trends, testing portfolio diversification, and generating investment ideas to improve diversification. Tickeron's platform also allows investors to back-test trading results based on different stock patterns, among other features. Now, AI is no longer exclusive to the world's top hedge funds; it's accessible to everyday investors. Learn more about it on Tickeron.com.
