Can AI really pick stocks better than humans? Artificial intelligence is increasingly finding its way into fund management, with asset managers using machine learning and other tools to analyse markets, assess companies and help build portfolios. The latest example is LAIQON, which has launched a European equity ETF that uses AI as part of its stock-selection and portfolio construction process. In this week’s Explain That Fund, we look at what AI is actually doing inside these strategies and whether it can genuinely give investors an edge. We also look at how AI-driven investing differs from traditional quantitative management, where human fund managers still fit into the process and why impressive backtests do not always translate into future returns. As more funds begin to market themselves as AI-powered, understanding what the technology is really contributing is becoming increasingly important. What will be covered? How AI is being used to analyse and select stocks What LAIQON’s new AI-powered ETF actually does How AI investing differs from traditional quantitative strategies The potential advantages of using AI in fund management The risks of overfitting, changing market conditions and poor data Why human judgement still plays a role in many AI-driven funds What investors should look for when assessing an AI-powered ETF This information is only suitable for persons in the UK or EU.
