Our read on AIEQ
CMost AI funds buy AI companies. AIEQ flips it: a machine-learning model running on the IBM Watson platform reads news, filings and market data to pick US stocks. Live since 2017, it is one of the original AI-run ETFs.
The fund seeks to track the total-return performance of the AI Powered Equity Index before fees and expenses. Its AI-driven process uses historical, economic, and news information to select securities.
Why people hold it
- The AI does the picking, not just the pitching. The index uses historical, economic and news information to select US stocks, so you get a machine's read on the market rather than a basket of AI vendors.amplifyetfs.com
- Trading since October 2017, it has one of the longest real-world records of any AI-driven ETF, built well before the post-ChatGPT rush of launches.amplifyetfs.com
- The book spreads across well over a hundred US names of all sizes, so it is not another chip-and-hyperscaler concentration play.
Worth knowing
- Active-style machinery, active-style price: 0.75% a year, versus index-built AI peers like XAIX (0.35%), QTUM (0.40%) and ARTY (0.47%).
- It is a small fund and thinly traded next to the household-name AI ETFs, which can mean wider spreads at the moment you trade.
- The model is proprietary. You can see the holdings, but not the reasoning that produced them, and the mix shifts as the model updates.amplifyetfs.com
