UOBAM’s building blocks for technology-powered investment management.
These building blocks have been used to develop a highly structured investment management process that we call AI-Augmentation@UOBAM.
This AI-Augmentation@UOBAM process has been proven to achieve superior investment returns by supplementing our deep investment expertise and robust management processes with AIML-driven analyses and insights.

Why AI + Analyst = higher returns?

What is unique about AI-Augmentation@UOBAM?
- AIML techniques are integrated with analyst research capabilities into a seamless investment management process
- 5 years track record – one of the longest in Asia
- Investment outperformance against benchmark and peers
- Models have been adapted to enhance equity, fixed income and multi-asset research
