The report suggests that AI will change capital markets by making analytical intelligence more abundant, automated, and embedded in investment decision-making. Markets will process larger volumes of structured and unstructured information faster, which could accelerate price discovery, shorten arbitrage windows, and reduce traditional informational advantages.
The report posits that this shift will also change how capital is allocated. As AI systems become more central to research, portfolio construction, trading, and risk management, capital allocation might depend less on human-led information discovery and more on model design, data governance, system oversight, and institutional infrastructure. In more advanced scenarios, AI could shift from supporting investment decisions to mediating them directly, thereby reshaping correlations, liquidity dynamics, risk premia, and fiduciary accountability.
