According to a Barclays survey of 410 fixed-income investors, approximately 52% of institutional investors now primarily use artificial intelligence for research purposes. Hedge funds follow at roughly 44%, using AI mainly to process and analyze large volumes of market data.
In contrast, only about 27% of hedge funds employ AI for modeling and risk analysis, compared to 22% of long-only managers and 17% of asset owners. Operations, compliance, reporting, and investment decisions each account for just 10% to 15% of AI usage across these groups.
The findings highlight a growing but uneven adoption of AI across different institutional investor segments, with research and data processing leading the way.
