The September edition of The Alternative Investor is out.
This month’s edition explores how AI is reshaping how alternative investment firms operate, compete and allocate capital, and looks at where AI is already making a tangible difference across the industry.
Contributions include:
- Digiata’s Diederick Kruger argues that AI in private markets will only succeed if it earns trust, explaining why firms are layering AI around proven operational processes rather than replacing them outright.
- Sycamore Tree Capital Partners’ Trey Parker explores why the AI boom is increasingly becoming a credit story, arguing investors should focus less on technology winners and more on how the buildout is financed.
- Quant Fin’s Jon Freedman looks at what less than $100,000 can realistically buy a hedge fund investing in AI, and why experimentation and productivity gains matter more than expensive transformation programmes.
- Lexolent’s Dr Nick Rowles-Davies explains how litigation funders are using AI to widen deal flow, improve underwriting and free experienced professionals to focus on the cases that matter most.
- Farrer & Co’s Alan Baker and Jeremy Evans examine the evolving regulatory landscape for AI in financial services, and why governance, oversight and accountability remain central to successful adoption.
The edition also offers the usual insights across the alternative investment landscape and concludes with RQC Group’s usual regulatory roundup which highlights key developments in the UK and US.
