Only 8% of Fund Managers Report Improved Returns from AI Adoption, Report Finds
A joint report by Morgan Stanley and Oliver Wyman reveals that despite 55% of asset managers adopting AI in their investment processes, only 8% have seen measurable improvements in investment returns. While AI has enhanced operational efficiency (69%) and research capabilities (49%), its impact on core investment decisions remains limited. The report highlights a gap between AI adoption and its ability to generate above-market returns, cautioning that faster research does not guarantee better investment performance.
