AI at Livingbridge: increasing efficiency, insight and delivering long-term value

Artificial intelligence is becoming an integral part of how Livingbridge operates and invests. Our focus is practical and disciplined: using AI to improve productivity and the surfacing of insight across our own business first, while building a clear strategy for how it supports long-term value creation.

AI is not a standalone initiative or a response to short-term market conditions. It is a capability we are embedding thoughtfully across the firm to strengthen decision-making, improve execution and support the next phase of our strategy.

Starting with our own business

We are actively implementing AI within Livingbridge to drive internal efficiencies and improve the quality and accuracy of our work. This includes automating routine tasks, enhancing data analysis and streamlining reporting and research processes.

By reducing friction in day-to-day workflows, AI allows our teams to focus more time on judgement, executing well and value creation — the areas where experience and expertise matter most. Importantly, this also ensures we understand the practical challenges and opportunities of AI adoption first-hand.

Creating value through better ways of working

More broadly, AI has the potential to improve how businesses operate across a wide range of functions. Used well, it can increase effectiveness, reduce error rates and support faster, better-informed decisions.

Common applications include automating repetitive, rules-based processes, improving data quality and analysis, and enabling more consistent and scalable execution. In customer-facing activities, AI can enhance responsiveness and personalisation, while in strategic contexts it can help teams interpret complex information faster and more effectively.

We believe that the greatest benefits come when AI complements human expertise. Rather than replacing people, intelligent tools allow skilled teams to operate with greater speed, precision and confidence.

A disciplined approach to adoption

At Livingbridge, we are applying AI with the same discipline that underpins our investment approach. We strongly encourage widespread adoption of AI across our firm but prioritise use cases that are practical, scalable and aligned with our long-term objectives.

Alongside improving how we operate internally, we have a clear strategy for how AI supports our broader investment activities — from research, analysis and diligence through to ongoing operational improvements within our portfolio.

Looking ahead

AI continues to evolve, but its direction of travel is clear. Firms that apply it thoughtfully and responsibly will be better positioned to operate efficiently, make better decisions and build lasting competitive advantage.

For Livingbridge, AI is not about disruption for disruption’s sake. It is about strengthening the foundations of how we work and invest and ensuring we remain well positioned for the future.
