Artificial intelligence is increasingly influencing how portfolios are built — but for advisors, the real question is how AI can improve investment outcomes without adding complexity or changing how you work with clients. Join David Wright, Head of Quantitative Investments at Pictet Asset Management, as he explains how artificial intelligence is being used inside equity portfolios to support better investment outcomes for clients. You’ll gain actionable takeaways to strengthen client relationships and support more informed investment conversations. Topics will include:

  • AI as an Investment Engine: How machine learning is used to forecast stock‑level returns and construct diversified equity portfolios — without relying on traditional factor bets.
  • How an AI model can withstand different market regimes: Why a tree-based machine-learning approach — trained on long histories and continuously retrained — is designed to remain effective across different market environments.
  • Portfolio Applications for Advisors: How AI‑enhanced ETFs can be used as a core equity allocation or a diversifying complement alongside passive and active strategies.
