Rick Rieder, Chief Investment Officer at BlackRock, revealed in a recent interview with CNBC that the asset management giant has moderately reduced its holdings and rebalanced its portfolio in some companies that are directly related to artificial intelligence.

Reid stated that although the long-term outlook for the artificial intelligence sector remains promising, the valuations of some related companies have risen sharply, prompting management teams to adopt more prudent portfolio adjustment strategies. This move reflects BlackRock’s investment philosophy of actively capturing technology growth opportunities while also placing emphasis on risk management and valuation discipline. He stressed that portfolio adjustments are an ongoing process aimed at optimizing risk-adjusted returns. This partial rebalancing of the artificial intelligence theme does not imply a bearish outlook for the sector, but is a tactical allocation optimization based on the current market environment.
