Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly modernising almost all sectors at breakneck speed – including asset management, with revolutionary tools that can improve decision-making, boost portfolio performance, and refine asset allocation. In this paper, the Generali Insurance Asset Management Research, Investments, and ESG teams delve into how AI is transforming their processes, as well as where they see investment risks and opportunities.
While markets may rush to define the winners and losers of the AI race, the full economic impacts of the new technology will take longer to materialise. As long-term investors and responsible stewards of capital, we therefore aim to strike a balance of using AI to maximise performance and mitigate risks, both in our investment process and the practices of our investee companies.
