Data science for investments? <\/strong>The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) has been transforming its investment strategy over the last five years to make it a faster and more data-driven process that maximizes returns, Bloomberg<\/a> reports, citing people it says are familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n

The details:<\/strong> The wealth fund currently utilizes a 125-person data scientist team to guide its investment actions, with a greater focus on private credit and equity investments instead of portfolio liquidity and conservative investments such as government bonds and real estate.<\/p>\n

The rationale:<\/strong> \u201cThere are now fewer market inefficiencies, traditional asset class boundaries are blurring, and opportunities are shorter-lived and require faster execution,\u201d ADIA's Strategy and Planning Director Jean-Paul Villain said. <\/p>\n

ADIA poured heavy investments into private credit throughout this year<\/strong>, including increasing its commitment to British asset manager Cheyne Capital to USD 831 mn<\/a> back in March. The wealth fund also invested USD 1 bn<\/a> in Barclays and AGL Credit Management\u2019s new private credit fund in the following month. It continued that trend with an AUD 300 mn investment<\/a> in Australian real estate private credit company Qualitas Diversified Credit Investments. It also invested an undisclosed amount<\/a> in a South Korean real estate credit fund managed by alternative asset manager SC Lowy two months ago.<\/p>\n

It was among the first movers:<\/strong> \u201cWe have been able to quickly scale into private credit while conditions are favorable, without adopting a one-size-fits-all approach across asset classes,\u201d said Hamad Shahwan Aldhaheri, executive director of private equities.<\/p>\n

The wealth fund has also introduced an internal performance assessment strategy called total portfolio management.<\/strong> This new method shifts away from a relative return focus with individual departmental targets to absolute and total return elements for assessing performance \u2014 meaning outperformance of a benchmark is not the only metric it uses. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
