Two-thirds say staff use AI regularly, but only one in ten reaches for it operationally. Is adoption only limited to basic research?
Why does depth of adoption fall as firms get bigger, when they have the most resources?
Hallucination is cited three times more than any other issue. Is this a trust problem we can solve?
Half of firms don’t measure AI’s value at all. What does good measurement actually look like?
Everyone wants to get AI strategy right. But is there a way to know what pitfalls to avoid?

Alpha doesn’t sit still. In 2026, hedge fund CIOs are rebuilding their portfolios from the ground up, moving into new asset classes, pushing into illiquids and retooling their technology to keep pace. But conviction is the easy part. The harder question is whether your operating model can carry the ambition.

The New Alpha Playbook draws on Hedgeweek’s Q2 2026 manager survey and interviews with leading CIOs to map exactly where the industry is expanding, what infrastructure it takes to do it coherently, and why adequate technology is never the finish line.

Join Hedgeweek® and FIS® along with other industry leaders for an expert discussion on the new alpha playbook on Tuesday, 7th July.
