Macrina Investment Management

Our aim is to generate market-leading returns from socially responsible investments in AI and Robotics, while helping to shape the development of these technologies for the benefit of humanity

Macrina Investment Management (MIM) was formed to capitalise on the considerable opportunities presented by the rapid developments we are currently seeing in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics and other ‘deep technologies’. Since the metaphorical ‘big bang’ in AI occurred somewhere around 2012, we have witnessed a proliferation of ground-breaking technologies come to market. And, as the power of computing globally continues to double on average every eighteen months, these innovations are becoming exponentially more valuable. The challenge lies in how to best capture this value.  

With a deep understanding of the AI and Robotics landscape, our people have spent many years helping clients identify, evaluate and apply specific technologies to maximise shareholder value.  Supported by excellent research and an Advisory Board of industry-renowned experts, MIM is focused on generating value for clients by backing the best companies at the forefront of this technological revolution, whilst also supporting clients in their own strategic ambitions involving these technologies.

Although we firmly believe in the potential of AI and Robotics to significantly improve the lives of people around the world, we are fully aware that these technologies will herald large-scale economic and social changes, which will inevitably pose certain risks. As such, we are fully committed to helping shape the development of AI and Robotics for the overall benefit of humanity, and will only ever invest in companies and technologies which are aligned with this vision.

The primary range of services we offer include:

• Establishing dedicated investment vehicles targeting opportunities in AI and Robotics
• Acting as an advisor to a broad range of organisations seeking to engage with this sector in various capacities
• Broadly supporting entrepreneurship, facilitating the exchange of ideas, and influencing policy developments relevant to this sector.

While Macrina Investment Management was formed to build and capitalise on the considerable opportunities emerging in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics and similar technologies, our core driving principles are that these emerging technologies offer humanity considerable opportunity to improve quality of life, as well as find solutions to many of the current and future problems humanity faces. At the same time we are fully aware that these technologies also represent significant threats through the inevitable large scale economic and social changes they will induce.

With this firmly in mind, our goals are therefore to:

1. Advise and guide our clients to achieving successful strategies and approaches in this and related fields
2. Achieve operational and financial returns for our clients
3. Maintain a clear vision of both responsibility and guidance as these technologies become ubiquitous within societies
4. Work to influence the development of these technologies towards uses that are constructive to humanity

Our approach to meeting these objectives focus on:

• Advising our clients on opportunities and best practice in the AI and Robotics sectors
• Making effective and remunerative investments in the AI and Robotics space
• Supporting and propagating specific views and approaches to this sector which are deemed to be value enhancing in the widest possible terms

To achieve this our services include:

• Providing advice, opinion and consulting to this sector and to companies, governments or supra-national institutions with an appreciation of the changes AI and Robotics are bringing and will continue to bring
• Establishment of dedicated investment vehicles targeting this sector
• Supporting the exchange of ideas, entrepreneurship and policy developments in this sector
