Our Commitment of 4x ROI on your AI Investment

I've served Hedge Funds for over three decades, and this is my personal commitment to delivering at 4x ROI with generative AI in a world failing to do so.

My dad was a statistician for the Census Bureau and the IRS. I entered this industry as a data guy, building data, reporting, and automation systems at two firms before launching Saberin Group. My reputation is everything—my last two firms became my first two clients. I believe in doing the right thing, not just because everyone knows everyone in this town, but because it's how I was raised. Call that quaint if you want.

This has been my message for three years: Generative AI isn't a silver bullet. It's a thousand small wins. If your Hedge Fund is sitting on the sidelines waiting for the "perfect" generative AI use case, you're making a costly mistake. Worse, if you're chasing a golden use case, you're likely just burning dollars.

The truth is undeniable: Generative AI is here to stay. It's improving daily and already woven into our lives. A recent MIT study revealed a harsh reality that doesn't surprise most of us—95% of generative AI pilots fail. Why? It's complicated, but at the core, expectations are misaligned. Stop trying to slay dragons with a single prompt.

Here's the obvious secret: Stop chasing perfection. Start shaving minutes off tedious hours. Let your people experiment with AI and find small victories. Build a culture that encourages efficiency in daily routines. Your people WILL find wins.

I don't serve Hedge Funds by accident. Fully loaded, the average employee costs a fund more than $120/hour in NYC. Every hour saved is pure ROI. Better yet, automation that eliminates tedious tasks inspires them to add value in meaningful ways. If giving your people time to focus on the bottom line isn't ROI, stop reading now. I've had Hedge Fund CEOs tell me this, and I wonder how they're still in business.

Technology projects have always had high failure rates—over 70% fail, per decades of Standish Group studies. But winners fail fast, pivot, and stack small wins. Set a vision, but achieve it in 90-day chunks.

Stop sitting on the sidelines. Start seeing ROI with Generative and Agentic AI. Stop putting your data at risk.
