Manulife Launches AI Research Assistant Solution
Manulife Wealth & Asset Management recently implemented its AI Research Assistant platform, created to complement the public markets investment research team’s experience and expedite data analysis.
“Artificial intelligence is ushering in a new era for investment management. One defined by accelerated insight, enhanced precision, and scalable decision-making,” said Paul Lorentz, president and CEO of Manulife Wealth & Asset Management. “Its ability to distill vast and complex data into actionable intelligence is reshaping how we assess risk, uncover opportunity, and construct portfolios. We view AI not as a substitute for human judgment, but as a strategic partner, amplifying the capabilities of our investment professionals while preserving the rigor and accountability that define active management.”
According to Manulife, the AI Research Assistant streamlines the investment research process for public markets by combining internal and external data sources like company financials, sell-side commentary, internal notes, earnings transcripts, and news stories into insights. The organization expects the efficiency of AI to reduce the time spent mining through documents by 70-80%.
