According to the US Wall Street Journal, artificial intelligence technology is transforming everyday investors into micro-quantitative fund managers. The article states that AI tools have lowered the barriers to quantitative trading, enabling non-professional investors to use algorithms for market analysis, strategy implementation, and risk management, thereby allowing them to participate in quantitative investment without a deep financial background.
“American investors are using “vibe coding” to develop trading algorithms and entrust their stock portfolios to AI agents for management. This trend marks the arrival of a new era of robot-based retail investors, a phenomenon that the media refers to as ‘The AI Shift Turning Everyday Investors into Mini Quant Funds.’”
