Nirav Shah, a founding partner at Versor Investments, speaks with GARP editorial director Robert Sales about the pros and cons of artificial intelligence and machine learning for buy-side institutions. Though significant concerns remain about the bias, fairness an explainability of AI and ML, these innovative technologies have made great inroads in financial services. Banks, for example, now use AI and ML for everything from anti-money laundering to fraud detection to risk modeling and analysis, while asset management firms employ these tools for portfolio optimization and risk mitigation. Nirav Shah discusses the role ML plays in risk reduction and alpha generation at buy-side institutions, and offers his thoughts on, among other topics, data governance and data management challenges, the growth of generative AI, the importance of regulation, and potential future applications of this technology. Speaker's Bio Nirav Shah is a founding partner at Versor Investments, where he has built innovative, scalable systems for using alternative data and AI/ML techniques. These tools are used in the firm's investment strategies, particularly within the futures and equities markets. He has also worked on various parts of the investment process at Versor, ranging from research to portfolio construction and trading. He has nearly two decades of experience in quantitative and systematic investment management. Prior to Versor Investments, he founded a consulting firm focused on quantitative research. Earlier, he served as Vice President at Investcorp in New York, where he focused on asset allocation and quantitative research. His career also includes a role as a Quantitative Researcher at Phoenix Global Capital Management, a CTA based in Chicago.

Nicky and Mina break down the match and ask how good a tactician Luciano Spalletti really is, while prior doubts about Jose Mourinho have largely dissolved as Roma continues to believe until the end of both games and the season, with yet another late goal to take an important point and two vital points from the Neopolitans, in their continuing unbeaten run. We also wonder what is the future of Napoli under the stewardship of Aurelio Delaurentis. Is Juventus' football going anywhere, after scraping a draw at home to battling Bologna? Hilarity and chaos ensues as Mina survives a moment of forgetfulness, before telling us about the potential purchase of Milan by Investcorp, including a personal connection, and we ask if the club is worth the reported asking price. Then we close the show with a classic penalty shootout in which the Azzurri prevailed, including an Andrea Pirlo masterclass. 04:24 Napoli v Roma 28:40 Juventus v Bologna 42:50 Milan v Genoa ****** This episode is sponsored by Calido Media.

Our guests for today's podcast are Deepak Gurnani, Founder and Managing Partner, Versor Investments (formerly known as ARP Investments) and Thiago de Freitas, Portfolio Manager for Liquid Alternatives, UPS Group Trust.   Alpha is hard to come by, but uncorrelated alpha is even more rare.  I wanted to dive deep into a hedge fund strategy that was truly uncorrelated to equity beta as well as long duration rate/credit beta.  When discussing the topic with Thiago, one of the best in the business with a keen eye for uncorrelated alpha, he suggested a conversation with Deepak Gurnani who runs a systematic, relative value global macro strategy leveraging AI and ML.  I found Deepak to be humble, transparent, and grounded despite the success he has achieved in his career formerly as the CIO for Investcorp's fund of hedge funds and now as the founder and managing partner of his own hedge fund, Versor Investments.  It is great to see a good guy, an Asian guy albeit, achieve success and truly build something unique and high impact for sophisticated institutional investors.   Without further ado, please enjoy my conversation with Deepak and Thiago.
