During the panel, Roger will explain how AI and machine learning-based strategies set themselves apart from traditional quantitative hedge funds with their ability to analyze large and varied datasets. These include alternative, often unstructured datasets like social media, news, consumer spending patterns, supply chain data, industry trends and market share dynamics, among others. These unconventional datasets can offer deeper insights to inform investment decisions. Amid the growing hype around AI hedge funds, a selective and discerning approach nevertheless remains essential.

Roger will also outline LGT Capital Partners’ current investment focus, including which types of hedge funds are favored and which tend to be avoided in the current environment.
