162 | UK Enterprise Awards 2022 2. 3AI has designed proprietary imputation algorithms that enable its system to input best estimates for missing data. This prevents over-enthusiasm, for example, on cheap stock, where simply assuming it had average growth would indicate good investment opportunity. Whereas, in reality, it is likely a poor growth stock due to the weak efficiency of market pricing. 3. 3AI’s homogeneous stock framework enables it to see all stocks as one type of thing: Colourless, odourless, cash printing machines. This vastly expands its training set and is vital for unlocking the power of deep ML. 4. 3AI’s proprietary ML algorithms that are overseen by statistical processes, which have learnt the not-so-intuitive understanding that the more data one looks at, the less probable a detected pattern is actually real. 3AI’s framework can, if compute allowed, handle infinite features per stock and still be robust to overfitting. 5. Use of third-party models, all ingested as inputs into 326 dimensions, by which 3AI’s system analyses stock. For example, if a stock’s volatility goes up or down, its price 3AI is a machine learning (ML) company that builds explainable artificial intelligence (AI) for investing. It has developed market-leading Smart Alpha Indices and Deep Factor analytics for global equities investing, which enhance decision-making and drive superior long-term returns. Formed in 2019 by the awardwinning data science team from UK insurer Just Group, and complemented in 2021 with the former head of UK sales from Goldman Sachs, 3AI strives to unlock the complexity of financial investing, by creating solutions for the investment community. Its market-leading, stock-picking Smart Alpha platform for equities looks at over 80-times the amount of information per stock than typical industry products. Across a deep global market, 3AI’s platform pulls in financial, economic, think tank, analyst, exchange-based, and media data to provide a self-taught technology, which searches like Google and thinks like Warren Buffett. Enabling the discovery of the world’s best, or worst stocks in seconds, with deep insights, which fully explain its research-powered findings. 3AI’s CEO and Co-Founder, Jacob AyresThomson was already an early pioneer in the application of evolutionary ML to investment. In 2017, his team won the Industry Data 50 Award for developing genetic algorithms to solve the puzzle of which bonds to hold on insurers’ balance sheets. This is now being developed with a UK Government Innovate UK grant for roll out in the near future. What fundamentally makes 3AI stand out is the combined execution of the following six key innovations. Each of which have powered the unparalleled performance of its innovative Smart Alpha platform, and boosted its predictive accuracy way beyond that achievable with a standard factor set and ML system: 1. 3AI’s proprietary deep factor set containing over 300 models on each stock enables its ML to ask deep questions of a stock and company. 3AI sought to enable the ML to ask the questions that should be asked when analysing stock and this requires much deeper, multi-year financial analysis of a company, as well as reading analyst reports, or earnings transcripts.

The system has studied this and is able to inform a research-driven view. It is really a superhuman research mechanism. 6. Extensive training of its AI systems with different objective functions, not just returns, having discovered that this materially changes what each system is good at. For example, they become specialists and they are combined to inform a deeper view. Moving forward, 3AI plans continued expansion of its deep factors by continuously ingesting new datasets. Enabling its Smart Alpha platform to drive ever greater insights and retain its marketleading position. The company is launching a new Global Stock Index later this year, powered by its Smart Alpha platform, which will be the first AI index in the world to actively monitor, screen, and select from a global pool of single stocks for the world’s best opportunities.
