Algorithms for Asset Allocators: review

papers.ssrn.com2026-03-31Survey
Executive summary

A new survey reveals that while law firms, banks, and hedge funds see strong potential in using algorithms and artificial intelligence for asset allocation, many face a significant AI Implementation Gap. This gap describes the struggle to turn AI’s promise into practical results, slowed by lack of expertise, regulatory hurdles, and poor data quality. The study argues that closing this gap needs not just better technology but also organizational change and clearer regulations. Concrete examples are lacking.

What it examines

This survey reviews how algorithms and artificial intelligence are being used by asset allocators, including law firms, banks, and hedge funds. It examines the main technologies involved and explores the challenges, such as the AI implementation gap, that prevent wider adoption in financial institutions.

What it concludes

The study finds that while AI and algorithms offer great potential for improving asset allocation, there are barriers to adoption, like technology gaps and organizational resistance. Applications include better investment decisions and risk management. Future research should focus on overcoming these challenges to fully realize AI’s benefits in finance.
