**[MSCI Launches AI Supply Chain Sub-Indexes to Support Precise Allocation and Risk Hedging]** BlockBeats News, September 30, according to Bloomberg, MSCI has launched a series of new indexes to help investors more accurately allocate or hedge risk exposures across different segments of the AI supply chain. These indexes cover physical infrastructure, digital infrastructure, and the application layer where AI is ultimately put into practical use. Investors can choose specific segments rather than making a one-directional bet on the entire AI industry. Jana Haines, Head of MSCI Index Products, stated that investors are seeking more specific risk exposures, including dimensions such as industry, company size, and country, and wish to segment these exposures based on portfolio needs. However, these indexes do not address how ordinary investors can hedge after continuously increasing their exposure to the AI industry through retirement accounts. Index hedging and speculative strategies are also typically not suitable for ordinary investors. According to Bain & Company, by 2031, the industry will need to generate $6 trillion in annual revenue to support the AI infrastructure currently under construction, but existing applications may only generate $1.2 trillion by then. New search engines, autonomous vehicles, and yet-to-emerge applications may fill part of the gap, but a revenue shortfall of several trillion dollars is still expected. [Original Link]
