A Barclays survey of 410 fixed‑income market participants found that about 52% of institutional investors now rely mainly on artificial intelligence for investment research and analysis. Roughly 44% of hedge funds use AI to process and analyze large volumes of market data, while 27% employ it for risk modeling and analysis. Long‑only managers use AI for risk modeling at about 22%, and asset owners at roughly 17%. Usage of AI in operations, compliance, reporting, and investment decision‑making remains low, between 10% and 15% across these groups. The trend indicates AI is reshaping how investment decisions are made.
