Glossary

  • Algorithm

    A set of step-by-step instructions or rules a computer follows to solve a problem or make decisions. In investing, algorithms can analyse data and help decide which stocks to buy or sell.

  • Investment factors

    These are specific characteristics or drivers that explain why certain stocks tend to perform better over time, such as value (cheap vs. expensive stocks), momentum (stocks trending upwards), or quality (financially strong companies).

  • Machine learning

    A type of advanced technology where computers learn patterns from data and improve their decision-making over time without being explicitly programmed for every task. It’s like teaching a computer to learn from experience.

  • Non-linear relationships

    More complex connections where changes in one variable do not result in proportional changes in another. The relationship could be curved, fluctuate, or change depending on other factors, making it less predictable.

  • Interactions

    This refers to situations where the effect of one investment factor or variable depends on the level of another. In other words, two or more factors work together in a way that influences the investment outcome differently than if each acted alone.

  • Overfitting

    When a computer model learns not just the general pattern but also the random noise in past data, making it too tailored to historical information. This often causes poor results when applied to new, unseen data. Think of it as memorising the answers instead of understanding the subject.  

  • Black box

    A system or model where the inputs and outputs are visible, but the internal workings are hidden or too complex to understand. In investing, a "black box" approach means you don’t fully know how decisions are made inside the tool.

  • AI transparency

    The degree to which the processes and decisions made by artificial intelligence are open, understandable, and explainable. Higher transparency helps investors trust and feel confident about how AI-driven decisions are made.
