Abstract

In the Financial industry, Artificial Intelligence has been one of the sophisticated techniques used by early adopters to manage multiple assets. Those early adopters are Quantitative Hedge Funds, around since the 80s and managing today an estimated USD 940 billion. After presenting the main trends in the Asset Management industry, I will describe the set-up of a Quantitative Hedge Fund as well as some of the problems that AI helps solving in the industry.
