Chinas First AI Fund Learned From the Countrys Best Traders

BC-Chinas-First-AI-Fund-Learned-From-the-Countrys-Best-Traders , Bloomberg News

(Bloomberg) — Chinas investors will soon be able to pick machines over humans when trying to profit in the worlds wildest major stock market.

Zheshang Fund Management Co., which manages $6.5 billion, plans to use about 300 investment models to analyze more than 3,000 Chinese stocks for what it says is the nations first artificial intelligence-based fund run purely on recommendations from its machines.

The robots initially learned from the nations best fund managers and analysts, and after about a year in training are ready to take them on when the fund opens to retail investors next month, according to Zha Xiaolei, head of Zheshangs four-person AI investment team.

While a growing number of hedge funds globally including Bridgewater Associates and Man Group Plc have developed AI and machine learning strategies to gain an edge, the results so far have been mixed. Funds that incorporate AI into their decisions have lagged a broader hedge fund index since 2018, according to Eurekahedge. Making headway in a market famous for its unpredictable price swings, where mom-and-pop investors drive 80% of trades, wont be easy.

Globally AI strategy is at a very early stage, even though it may gain traction in the long run, said Liu Shichen, a Shanghai-based analyst at Z-Ben Advisors, an asset-management research firm. Explaining and selling the concept of an AI fund to a retail audience in China may be a tough task, he said.

To build a model that can adapt to China, Zheshangs machines first analyzed the strategies of more than 80 of the nations best-performing fund managers, drawing from public disclosures of their holdings. They were also fed stock recommendations from 500 star analysts and industry experts, and investment ideas from 200 chat groups.

Zha said they took volatility into account from the beginning by targeting Sharpe Ratio, a measure of risk-adjusted performance, as the key indicator for the robots. Diversifying the portfolio also helps contain the volatility, he said.

The machines now analyze 3,000 different data feeds to generate trading signals, and consistent underperformers are eliminated.

Every robot was assigned one specific goal and they need to reach perfection in doing it, said Zha.

The fund returned 26.4% between Sept. 28 and June 28, according to Zha, a period during which Chinese stocks swung from a bear market into a bull run. The benchmark CSI 300 Index added about 12%.

Zha, the only member in the AI fund team with a finance background, also manages Zheshangs big-data fund, which outperformed 94% of peers with a 22% return in the past year. Xiang Wei, the co-manager of the AI fund, has a doctorate in computer science and previously oversaw development of the personalized search engine at Baidu Inc.

In a big-data fund, managers analyze massive volumes of data to make investment decisions, while with machine learning — a subset of AI — computers improve their ability to independently find trading signals as they crunch more data over time.

The biggest challenge, Zha said, is that his machines havent had sufficient time to learn. The paucity of data on new companies and some industries in China can hinder performance, he said.

Eurekahedge doesnt track any AI hedge funds based out of mainland China, said Mohammad Hassan, its Singapore-based head analyst for hedge fund research and indexation.

AI funds shouldnt be a harder sell to retail investors, Hassan said. Clients will eventually be drawn to performance and other factors such as fund governance, he said. The AI hedge fund space is still in its nascent stages, but the shift towards more technology-, machine-intensive strategies is here to stay.
