AlphaGrep Investment Management, a quantitative investing firm with 16 years of institutional experience, is launching its first mutual fund offer aimed at retail investors, a multi-asset allocation fund. CEO Bhautik Ambani explained that the fund uses AI-driven models to decide how much money to put into equities, fixed income, and commodities like gold, silver, copper, and crude, based on statistical research rather than gut instinct. He said human fund managers still oversee risk and execution, but don’t override model decisions, since asset allocation choices, not stock picking, tend to drive most long-term investment returns. The firm also plans to launch a flexi-cap fund and other specialised strategies soon.
