A thematic equity fund investing in companies whose products or services are involved in Artificial Intelligence technologies.
Rather than betting on some large winners to emerge from the Information Technology sector, the managers look across industries for evidence of companies using Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. The managers believe that many winners from the AI revolution will be incumbent industry leaders who, through the adoption of AI, will enhance data analysis and entrench existing competitive advantages. For a company to meet the fund’s thematic purity criteria, the managers must demonstrate that AI forms a core part of a company’s economic value and that without the technology the company would not be able to operate.
