3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 9

Summary

  • Magnetar Capital is launching a new offering that will rely on hundreds of AI bots rather than human analysts to generate stock ideas and recommendations.
  • The $18 billion hedge fund built the system to mimic the depth of research typically produced by large teams of analysts, according to people familiar with the plan.
  • Those bots will scan the investing universe, analyze companies and forecast trends, while human portfolio managers retain final authority over any trades.
  • The move marks a sharper use of AI in hedge funds, shifting the technology from support work toward a central role in investment research.
