We're excited to announce that our co-founder and co-portfolio manager, Armina Rosenberg, was recently featured on Bloomberg to discuss how Minotaur Capital is pioneering an AI-driven approach to investment management.
"If you are a fund manager these days that is not using AI in your processes, you're going to be left behind," she said.
For example, the Minotaur team was able to quickly move into European defence stocks - an opportunity that was originally flagged by our AI-software system, Taurient, several months before increased European defence spending started making headlines. As Rosenberg explained, we used OpenAI's Deep Research model to research the European defence space and suggest a couple of stocks that we could research further in Taurient, before buying into a portfolio of stocks that have since become some of our biggest contributors to outperformance.
She also noted that the Minotaur Global Opportunities Fund's focus on diversification, particularly its exposure to AI companies and European defence stocks, has helped smooth out returns and "Trump-proof" the portfolio.
Rosenberg also discussed how the team identifies mispriced opportunities globally, pointing to a Japanese GLP-1 player as a key example:
Taurient ingests 40,000 articles a week, she said, everything from the Wall Street Journal to Financial Times and Bloomberg, but also things like The Asahi Shimbun, which is a local Japanese newspaper, or Kontan, which is a local Indonesian newspaper.
"It was actually from a Japanese article that Taurient found this company called Chugai Pharmaceutical... which is developing drugs in the GLP-1 space," she said, noting the company should rerate further as we see the results from its oral GLP-1 drug trials.
