Partnering with Sphere Inc. has been a game-changer for our investment research and alpha generation efforts. Their team delivered a suite of GenAI and machine learning solutions that completely transformed the way our analysts work and make decisions. The AI-powered tools they built for us—ranging from automated extraction of insights from 10-Ks and earnings calls to a GenAI research assistant that summarizes macro trends and analyst reports—have saved our team an incredible amount of time. We estimate a 15–25% increase in productivity, which translates into hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual value. But the real impact has been on performance. Sphere helped us implement machine learning-based portfolio optimization and risk modeling tools that enhanced our ability to act quickly
