What Happened

EquBot launched the AI Powered Equity ETF in October. The product has gotten off to impressive start, as highlighted by its $137.63 million in assets under management.

“The fund’s software ‘constantly’ analyzes information for roughly 6,000 U.S.-listed stocks, according to the company, scanning through regulatory filings, news articles, social media posts and traditional financial metrics — including factors pertaining to correlations and valuations — to find investments it perceives as undervalued. Daily turnover is high compared with other actively managed funds, EquBot said,” reports MarketWatch.

AIEQ's net asset value is up 8.58 percent year-to-date as of June 5, according to issuer data.

Why It's Important

The new AIIQ uses an AI-powered model that also runs on the Watson platform.
