It's time to tap out of cash

Potential for more

Every dollar in the bank could be a missed opportunity to realise more growth, to earn more income, and to benefit from the mega forces reshaping our world.

Global equities deliver

A $100 investment in global equities five years ago could have returned nearly eight times more than cash or money market funds. That outperformance grows the longer you stay invested.

Time to tap in

If your goal is to generate income and grow your wealth, it’s time to tap into new opportunities.

The big question we have been hearing from clients is, ‘How can AI help us to invest?’ 

Hi, I’m Rui Zhao, a portfolio manager within BlackRock’s Systematic Active Equity team.

With so many stocks in the global market, it is extremely difficult for human investors to analyse all the information available from a multitude of sources on their own, and then extract useful insights of all the companies such as the company’s products, profitability, and growth prospects. That is where the benefit of AI comes in, and why we have been using it across our systematic investment platform.

We began using AI back in 2008 - building infrastructures that can accumulate all the big data, and train machines to analyse the data. We assess a universe of five thousand securities every day, constantly advancing our machine learning technique and evolving the signals that we use to generate alpha more effectively.

These signals can help us identify trending products among consumers, such as products recommended by online influencers, and assess investor sentiment from social media posts across different platforms and languages. We can also spot early red flags in company documents exchanged with regulators, which may indicate a potential negative impact on shareholder value.

So by using AI in our investment process, we can strive to better forecast returns and generate consistent income for our clients.
