Discussions of artificial intelligence (AI) in asset management often leap ahead to futuristic scenarios, like agentic agents rebalancing portfolios and multimodal interfacing. But the reality is that most firms lack the operational readiness required to make these visions real. As we’ve seen in 2025, the greatest barrier to AI isn’t ambition, but operational fragmentation. The systems still reflect a legacy…

Hostility toward science is not a recent phenomenon. In 1948, the Soviet Union officially denied the existence of genes, eliminating plant science in favor of “training” plants to be more productive. The resultant crop failures led to millions of deaths in both the USSR and China, whose communist party also adopted this pseudoscience. Even when not official governmental policy, pseudoscience…
