After 17 years in credit trading, I left knowing I wanted to do something different. When I started working seriously with AI, the capability was obvious. So were the failure modes.

Investment firms are going to incorporate AI into their workflows. The question is whether they do it as a thin productivity layer or as a real extension of how analysts, PMs, traders, and operators make decisions.

What gets lost in most implementations is domain expertise. A technology team can deploy a model. They cannot tell you which covenant provisions matter in a stressed credit, how a trader actually uses positioning data, or why the first question in a liability management situation is not the spread but the indenture.

EigenStrategy exists to close that gap.
