Additionally, it controls liquidity and regional and investments considering expected earnings, correlation and variability.
MIND forms a portfolio in advanced by learning various information through neural networks in the AI System and minimizes errors by comparing this with the best portfolio, which is the result value, using the deep learning technology.
Mirae Asset Global Investments established an AI-run financial research center in October last year for the first time in the domestic industry and has been researching on the application of deep learning to investment through artificial neural networks. The company has been operating the Mirae Asset AI Smart Beta Fund since its release in January.
