Event Overview:
The use of Artificial Intelligence is disrupting many industries, notably finance and investments. Yahoo Japan and its subsidiary Magne-Max are using AI and Big Data to find investment opportunities. Magne-Max is modeling insights from behavioral economics (a topic which has won three Nobel prizes in the 21st century) to asset pricing based on AI. Advances in algorithmic theories and computing capabilities combined with Big Data may dramatically change the way in which the financial assets are managed. Financial assets are oftentimes priced away from fundamental value, and irrational investors sometimes exacerbate the deviation. Magne-Max believes that those noise traders behavior can partially be predicted because humans make the same mistake over and over again. Some of the investor behaviors are “Predictably Irrational” as Dan Ariely, behavioral economist at Duke, titles his bestseller book. Today Magne-Max is using these strategies and insights to manage over JPY 28 billion invested in listed Japanese equities. Come to learn about these emerging fund investment trends using the latest technologies.
