‘Big Data’ Fueling Transformation in Asset Management

Jan. 16, 2017

Artificial intelligence (AI) has played a growing role in capital markets over the past fifteen years. The concept most commonly refers to the development of computer systems that are capable of undertaking decision-making tasks that normally require human intelligence.

However, computers are able to perform such tasks at exponentially higher speed and frequency, one that is impossible for humans. And at lower costs. Algorithmic trading, an AI application, grew six-fold from 2003 to 2012, reaching 85% of market volume.1

According to Deutsche Börse Group, ‘big data’ is currently fueling the evolution of AI-driven investment analytics.2 The term alludes to the role that AI has played in enhancing the reach of data. This has been done through the development of tools that enable more efficient ways to mine, analyze, curate and utilize data, essentially powering the conversion of that information into better investment decisions and new investable products.

New world technology

Big data is considered AI’s life-blood and has incited a record level of interest in these technologies. Investment in AI startups has grown to nearly 2.4 billion dollars in 2015 from 282 million in 2011, according to one study.3

The barrage of data coming from an increasing number of sources, and ever more efficient analytical methods and architectures are showing the potential to transform the entire asset-management industry through vast competitive advantages. This disruption can already been seen in the success that interactive investment technologies such as robo-advisors have experienced. A recent PULSE ONLINE article reviewed the growth of this sector.

Transforming passive investments

Smart beta and factor investing strategies are another example of how big data is transforming the investment landscape, in this case in passive investing. Smart beta is the name given to benchmarks whose membership is constructed on criteria other than market capitalization. They rely instead on metrics such as dividend or value to construct an investment strategy. For more on these benchmarks, please click here.

Factor investing is a strategy where securities are chosen based on attributes associated with higher returns. While methodologies can differ, such strategies utilize an increased level of granularity when choosing securities.

Data and technology will continue to gain a bigger role in how money is managed. Just like the invention of the Internet browser transformed the retail industry, the disruptive power of new technologies cannot be overstated. The asset-management industry may be at the early stages of having a similar experience. Only this time around, with more advanced technology, higher penetration ratios and two decades of experience in how innovation can truly transform the way we live.

Is Artificial Intelligence The Next Step In Total's Tech Push?
By Irina Slav - Sep 20, 2017, 11:00 AM CDT AI

France’s top oil player Total has once again demonstrated that it is wasting no time to prepare for the future realities of an increasingly green, increasingly digital world. The company is in talks with Google and Microsoft regarding the development of custom-made artificial intelligence for the oil industry.

The Telegraph quoted Total’s Chief Information Officer Frederic Gimenez as saying engineers from the company were working with software developers to find ways of implementing complex algorithms in oil and gas exploration and production.

Speaking at the FT Digital Energy conference, Gimenez said, “We have a strong knowledge of exploration and seismic analysis. But they are the ones who are the best in artificial intelligence. This has obliged our people to work with completely different partners and to merge our knowledge to find a new way to make oil and gas discoveries.”

The next step after the talks could involve closing some formal partnership agreements, according to a Total spokeswoman. For now, however, the company is testing the waters, she said.

Meanwhile, Total is pursuing its green agenda. Yesterday, it announced two acquisitions that would strengthen its renewable power generation portfolio, and expand its presence on the European energy efficiency market.

The first deal was the acquisition of a 23-percent interest in French solar and wind power generation capacity developer EREN RE. Total has agreed to pay US$285 million (237.5 million euro) for the stake and has the option of taking over the company after five years. The target has a portfolio of 650 MW in installed capacity and plans to boost this to over 3 GW. Total, for its part, aims to have total renewable installed capacity of 5 GW by 2022.

The second deal is a takeover of another local company, energy efficiency solutions developer Greenflex. Without disclosing the size of the acquisition, Total noted that Greenflex is among the leaders in its industry with more than 600 clients and projected revenues of over US$420 million (350 million euro) for this year.

GE Working on Robot That It Says Can Save $200 Billion of Power

Artificial intelligence to make power grids more efficient
General Electric currently filing patents on the technology

General Electric Co. is working on a way to use artificial intelligence in electricity grids, a technology that it expects will save $200 billion globally by improving efficiency.

“We’re also putting a lot into the machine learning side, a lot,” said Steven Martin, chief digital officer at GE’s energy connections business, at an interview at the Bloomberg New Energy Finance summit in London. “We have a lot of people working on this.”

The technology would optimize how electricity flows in and out of storage devices such as batteries and points of consumption, in real time. This is expected to significantly increase the efficiency of the grid and save consumers money.

Researchers are looking into how so-called machine learning can be integrated into businesses from healthcare to computing, and now energy. The industry is going through rapid changes as everything from power plants to home electricity systems move towards digitization.

“This is an industry that needs infinite disruption,” Martin said. He worked at a number of start-ups in Silicon Valley and Microsoft Corp. before joining GE last year.

GE is currently filing a number of patents on the technology.

Before it's here, it's on the Bloomberg Terminal.

Why omens Waldron?
When I initially posted on the thread I provided loads of links because it was a while before PRSM got noticed.
They will be in the first few posts through to some months later.
Some of them might be no longer relevant but I would think most of them are still very valid.

I am unclear whether you think AI is a good thing or not?
