Taleb Says Grok Grasps His Fund's Tail-Hedge Strategy Better Than Finance Pundits

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Distinguished Scientific Advisor at Universa Investments, said in a February 23, 2026 Bloomberg Television interview that xAI's AI "Grok" understands and represents his firm's tail-risk hedging strategy "a lot better" than financial commentators. When the interviewer noted that Universa's annual return on capital exceeds 100%, Taleb responded "Go ask Grok," praising the AI for consistently and accurately capturing what the firm does.
