AI: Investing Beyond the Headlines
AI continues to dominate both the markets and client conversations. While headlines focus on bubble fears and volatility, long-term investors are seeking a clear framework grounded in fundamentals, not hype.
Join Dr. Ankur Crawford, Portfolio Manager at Alger, for an in-depth discussion on how she is evaluating the AI cycle, managing volatility, and identifying durable opportunities amid rapid change.
SUMMARY
What you'll learn:
- Why we believe this AI cycle is fundamentally different from past tech booms, and why simple “bubble” comparisons can fall short
- How rising token demand and compute scarcity are shaping real investment opportunities
- How to communicate AI’s market impact clearly and confidently with clients

The views expressed are the views of Fred Alger Management, LLC (“FAM”) and its affiliates as of April 2026. These views are subject to change at any time and may not represent the views of all portfolio management teams.

Risk Disclosures: Investing in the stock market involves risks, including the potential loss of principal. Growth stocks may be more volatile than other stocks as their prices tend to be higher in relation to their companies’ earnings and may be more sensitive to market, political, and economic developments.
Companies involved in, or exposed to, AI-related businesses may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel as they face intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence, and many depend significantly on retaining and growing their consumer base. These companies may be substantially exposed to the market and business risks of other industries or sectors, and may be adversely affected by negative developments impacting those companies, industries or sectors, as well as by loss or impairment of intellectual property rights or misappropriation of their technology. Companies that utilize AI could face reputational harm, competitive harm, and legal liability, and/or an adverse effect on business operations as content, analyses, or recommendations that AI applications produce may be deficient, inaccurate, biased, misleading or incomplete, may lead to errors, and may be used in negligent or criminal ways. AI companies, especially smaller companies, tend to be more volatile than companies that do not rely heavily on technology.
Investing in innovation is not without risk and there is no guarantee that investments in research and development will result in a company gaining market share or achieving enhanced revenue. Companies exploring new technologies may face regulatory, political or legal challenges that may adversely impact their competitive positioning and financial prospects. Developing technologies to displace older technologies or create new markets may not in fact do so, and there may be sector-specific risks. There will be winners and losers that emerge, and investors need to conduct a significant amount of due diligence on individual companies to assess these risks and opportunities.
Alger pays compensation to VettaFi to sell various strategies to prospective investors.
