🎥WILD: Brian Kelly’s Bracket22 hedge fund replaces a $5 MILLION+ payroll with only four AI agents.
CNBC recently profiled veteran fund manager Brian Kelly’s AI-powered hedge fund, where four AI agents now handle research, risk analysis, chart analysis and quant strategies for $40,000 a year.
'Houston runs the operation, Doocey red-teams every trade idea, Steffi analyzes charts, and Desmond runs quant strategies over the weekend.'
Kelly says the agents deliver roughly 10x the output of his previous team.
His previous setup required 7–8 people across New York, Hong Kong and California to cover a crypto market that never closes, costing more than $5 million annually.
The AI agents can now work around the clock without anyone having to wake up at 3 a.m.
Kelly calls his remaining role “the meat in the chair” and says the future of hedge funds could look like one manager overseeing a small number of humans, with a swarm of AI agents underneath them.
