AI Boom Undermines Diversification Strategy for Major Institutional Investors
Source Summary
Large pension funds and sovereign wealth funds are discovering that traditional diversification strategies are proving ineffective as AI-driven market movements create correlated asset behavior.

Why it matters
This trend affects how trillions of dollars in institutional capital are allocated and managed, potentially increasing systemic market risk if diversification fails to provide the expected risk mitigation.
