Artificial intelligence is changing the way investment research is done, and one of MLC Asset Management’s boutique investment managers, Intermede Investment Partners, is already putting it to work.
In a recent paper, Intermede shares how they’re using advanced AI tools to support their analysts. These aren’t just chatbots - they’re reasoning-based models that can scan filings, map out investment themes, and even help test investment theses. The goal isn’t to replace analysts, but to give them a powerful assistant that can speed up research and surface new ideas.
For advisers, it’s a useful glimpse into how a manager is adapting to a fast-moving landscape. It shows that Intermede is thinking ahead, experimenting with new tools, and still keeping human judgment front and centre.
If you’re curious about how AI is being used in real-world investment workflows, and what that might mean for your clients, download a copy today.
