Sakana AI and Daiwa Securities Expand Partnership to Build AI Tools for Wealth Management
Sakana AI and Daiwa Securities Group have advanced their joint artificial intelligence project into full-scale production, beginning development on custom AI tools designed to support wealth management operations.
The move follows a proof-of-concept phase initiated under a September 2025 partnership agreement between Sakana AI and Daiwa Securities. The initial phase evaluated Sakana AI’s proprietary agent technologies—including "The AI Scientist" and "AB-MCTS"—focusing on automated market data collection and analysis.
According to the companies, the trial successfully established a technical foundation for production-level quality and processing capacity. The testing also validated a feedback framework designed to continuously refine analytical precision using input from end users.
As of August 1, 2026, the collaboration has transitioned into active product development. The initiative aims to evolve the technical framework into specialized client proposal tools, assisting advisors as customer demands for tailored asset planning grow increasingly complex. Sakana AI plans to deploy the platform across Daiwa Securities in stages, aiming to streamline research workflows and enhance consulting quality.
