ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE 4
The power of ML ML is the ability of machines to learn by themselves and improve their own performance. They don’t rely on human-driven rule-based programming, instead using AI algorithms that identify patterns across data and predict future market direction and magnitude. Importantly, the AI can learn and adapt in order to improve the quality of the predictions as time goes on. We could view ML as a way of getting computers to ‘know things when they see them’ by producing for themselves the rules their programmers cannot specify. How Sanlam uses AI At Sanlam Global Investment Solutions (SGIS) we use an AI and ML investment engine in the management of our investment solutions. The predictive investment engine analyses and interprets available data to: • Identify and predict evolving market behaviour • Minimise the capital loss and time in loss (drawdowns) • Maximise portfolio outcomes (total returns). In June 2017, the Sanlam Managed Risk (SMR) UCITS Fund started using AI to provide intelligent exposure to markets for its investors. This year, the SMR Fund was shortlisted for Investment Week’s Specialist Investment Awards 2018, potentially making it the first UCITS fund leveraging AI to receive such a nomination. The SMR Fund is available on the Glacier International platform. Using the same active AI proprietary fund management techniques, Glacier Management Company has also launched the Glacier AI Flexible Fund of Funds, a multi-asset flexible fund diversified across property, bonds and equities. The Glacier AI Flexible Fund of Funds launched on 3 September 2018. The world’s markets are evolving and advancing at ever increasing speeds and Sanlam is providing clients with intelligent exposure to markets through the use of AI and ML. By leveraging these tools, we create investment strategies that adapt quicker to constantly evolving markets, with the aim of providing investors with a better investment experience. We believe that man with machine is far more efficient than man alone. All of these should lead to a better investment journey for clients. The purpose of our AI proposition is to address investors’ primary concern – their risk of capital loss – by providing a solution that can proactively adapt as quickly as markets evolve in order to supply them with improved investment outcomes.
