How AI improves the investing process with Arms Rosenberg
5/18/202646 min
AI is everywhere in markets, but is it actually changing how great investors pick stocks? Bryce and Alec sit down with Armina Rosenberg, co-founder and portfolio manager at Minotaur Capital, to unpack how her team uses AI across idea generation, research, financial modelling, thesis validation and risk management.
From spotting structural change across thousands of articles to testing whether SaaS stocks are facing an AI reckoning, we take a practical look at where AI is genuinely useful, where humans still have the edge, and how everyday investors can start using it without switching their brain off.
In this episode:
00:00 AI and the future of stock picking
01:18 Armina’s first investment
04:05 How AI improves a fundamental investing process
10:06 Can AI run a portfolio?
13:11 Where AI beats humans and where it fails
16:08 Managing hallucinations and AI risk
22:50 AI, SaaS and the changing market landscape
