The Kobeissi Letter(@KobeissiLetter):AI is reshaping how institutional investors work: ~52% of institutional investors now primarily use AI for research, according to a Barclays survey of 410 fixed-income investors. This is followed by hedge funds, at ~44%, which primarily use AI to process and analyze large volumes of market data. By comparison, ~27% of hedge funds use AI for modelling and risk analysis, versus ~22% of long-only managers and ~17% of asset owners. Operations, compliance and reporting, and investment decisions each account for just 10% to 15% across these groups. AI is changing how investment decisions are made.
