Navigating the AI investment paradox in asset management
The AI investment paradox in asset management: why firms are spending big on AI yet remain deeply divided on the value of those investments.
AlphaLab Hong Kong is an invitation-only gathering of C-suite hedge fund leaders across Asia Pacific, hosted by Enfusion by Clearwater.
Hong Kong’s hedge fund industry is entering a new chapter. As institutional capital flows into the region at scale, expectations around transparency, infrastructure, and operational rigor are rising in step. Staying ahead now depends as much on the strength of a firm’s technology and data as on its investment strategy. This gathering brings together C-suite leaders to discuss what’s changing and what it takes to compete in this next phase — including the introduction of Enfusion AlphaLab, a three-pillar stack built around your firm, your data, your process.

Institutional capital is moving into hedge funds at the fastest pace in over a decade, with a growing share of institutional investors planning to raise their hedge fund exposure in 2026 as pensions, sovereign wealth funds, and endowments rotate out of traditional equities to do it. That capital comes with sharper scrutiny: allocators are pushing managers harder on reporting, and on proving what performance actually represents — alpha versus beta and true risk exposure. This panel examines what it actually takes, operationally and strategically, to meet that bar and earn the allocation, and how technology needs to keep pace with those demands.
Panelists:
Moderator: Christy Lai, Executive Director, Regional Lead, Head of Partnership and Alliances, Clearwater Analytics
Speaker: Brad LeClair, Head of Product Strategy, Hedge Funds, Clearwater Analytics
