AI-powered investment analysis platform Bridgewise has launched a research platform it says will close the gap in exchange-traded fund (ETF) and mutual fund analyses.
The service will offer financial clients deep intel into ETF and fund performance, including that of their underlying assets, the company said. Bridgewise has deployed machine learning and micro-language models (MLMs) to enable detailed analysis of all aspects of the funds industry.
The company, which provides analyses to more than 50 financial institutions globally, said the new service has been developed amid growing demand for information on the ETF sector. Researcher ETFGI said inflows into ETFs climbed almost 11% in the past year to almost US$13 trillion.
The product launch coincided with the appointment of ETFGI founder and managing partner Deborah Fuhr to the Bridgewise advisory board.
Bridgewise co-founder and chief executive Gaby Diamant said the huge demand for insights into ETFs and mutual funds would be beyond the capabilities of traditional research processes.
“Until now, fund analysts have faced a daunting challenge – there is no way for a human to provide a detailed fundamental analysis on each and every asset in popular funds, especially when some funds are composed of thousands of individual stocks,” Diamant said “The time it would take to complete such an analysis would quickly stretch to a full year or more. Our AI technologies not only allow for a previously unobtainable level of depth of fund analysis, but also nearly universal coverage of funds.
”Within the platform, clients will be able to access holdings analysis, intel on alternatives such as private equity, buy-sell recommendations, category indicators and asset discovery features.
