Who it affectsFund administrationFund operations
Alter Domus, a global fund administrator to alternative investment managers, says it is well progressed in its AI transition and is embedding AI into its fund-services operations. Positioned as a structural operational shift rather than a pilot, though the release doesn't specify which workflows were automated.

Who it affectsInvestor relationsPortfolio managementTechnology
Janus Henderson is developing two AI-native tools with Anthropic and General Catalyst-backed Percepta. Prism is a client-intelligence platform for distribution teams. Libros is a research manager that joins proprietary research, external research and market data for analysts. The firm is also deploying Claude Code and Cowork firm-wide. The notable part is the model: the manager builds with a partner on a frontier lab's stack rather than buying a vendor point solution. It keeps the data foundation, which is where the durable advantage sits.

Who it affectsPortfolio managementCompliance and risk
Mercer's survey of global asset managers found 55% have integrated AI into at least one investment process, and another 27% are running pilots. In the words of Mercer's global manager research lead, the technology remains "a partner rather than a decision-maker". That framing matters for governance: a partner produces inputs a human signs off, which is a very different model-risk and accountability profile from delegated decisions. Expect due-diligence questionnaires to start asking which of the two you actually run.
No items yet. Model releases and lab news appear here when they change what a fund team can do.
In practice: a better model rarely changes what a fund team may do. It lowers the cost of the first draft, so the review step and the evidence of that review matter more.
