Meet PIE, Glacier’s AI
Meet PIE, the AI engine behind the Glacier AI Flexible Fund of Funds. Designed to improve your clients’ outcomes by reducing downside risk and improving the consistency of achieving investment goals, PIE (Predictive Investment Engine), takes human emotions out of investment decisions.
Why PIE? Humans can’t process the 2.5-quintillian bytes of data produced daily. Machines can. PIE comprises 601 virtual investment analysts. A ‘human’ investment team has just 10 analysts. This catalyses intelligent exposure: when investment risk is timed with the market to combat capital loss, streamline efficiencies and go beyond diversification.
The big advantages of PIE the AI:
- It turns data into meaningful insights to predict market behaviour
- It eliminates human bias and human error
- It self-adjusts according to changing environments and markets
- It has no ‘key person risk’
- It’s consistent. Its aim is to minimise the depth and breadth of drawdowns, optimise the risk-return balance and maximise investment outcomes
The future is now.
