Only 8% of Fund Managers See Return Gains from AI, Morgan Stanley–Oliver Wyman Finds
Originally published:
A September 2026 Morgan Stanley–Oliver Wyman BluePaper, drawing on a Mercer survey, finds that while more than half of asset managers have embedded AI in at least one investment process, just 8% report measurable return improvements. AI benefits are concentrated in operational efficiency and research rather than core investment decisions. Portfolio construction and trade execution remain the least penetrated areas.
Why it matters for finance
Investment and finance professionals can use these benchmarks to calibrate AI business-case expectations, prioritise deployment in high-impact areas, and set realistic return-improvement timelines.
