Ankur Crawford, executive vice president and portfolio manager at Alger Investment Management, discusses how she builds investment strategies in interviews aired by Bloomberg and The Big Picture (Barry Ritholtz). Across the conversations, Crawford speaks about her move from engineering into investment roles and how that background informs her approach to analyzing markets.
A core theme is her effort to understand artificial intelligence and the “compute investment cycles” tied to hyperscalers and related infrastructure spending. The outlets focus on different parts of the same discussion: Bloomberg frames the conversation as a markets-focused segment with a broader look at strategy and AI-related cycles, while The Big Picture presents it as an extended interview and transcript format centered on her career path and portfolio management perspectives. Despite the different presentation styles, both sources describe Crawford’s role overseeing multiple Alger strategies and her emphasis on evaluating how AI-driven demand affects investment decisions.
Overall, the coverage centers on Crawford’s professional journey and her view of AI and compute as key factors in how she evaluates opportunities, rather than on a specific market event or new company announcement.
