Join CAIA Italy for an Educational Event in Milan at Microsoft Technology Center

Artificial Intelligence and Big Data: the impact of technology and data on alternative investments

Thursday, November 22, 2018
18:00 to 20:30 CET
 

The combination of low-cost computing capacity and the abundance of available data has led to an increasing number of systematic strategies (active/passive), which offer exposure to Traditional Beta (ETF), Alternative Beta (Smart Beta or Risk / Style Premia) and Alpha (Hedge Funds). What are the main considerations in the evaluation of investment solutions that adopt AI/ML techniques? Discretionary asset managers vs. quantitative asset managers: how do they coexist and what are the strengths and weaknesses that characterise them? A discussion will follow, to review these themes and to consider their implications on the investment strategies.

This event is complimentary. As there is a limited capacity for this event, we ask that you please register as early as possible to reserve your spot.

Please note that the event will be held in Italian.
