The unmet potential of AI in Finance
Even though AI reshapes industries and redefines the norms, the finance sector is in a peculiar spot. Despite the growing buzz and undeniable potential, the union between AI and investing is on a rocky terrain with unfulfilled potential.
Existing challenges
The challenges AI faces in the financial world are immense. For starters, the huge rich encumbers have little incentive, if at all, to make any changes to the very profitable old-fashioned investments.
The sheer volume of data is a double-edged sword. While AI thrives on vast amounts of information, the financial world often drowns in its data deluge, making it challenging for machines to discern meaningful patterns and act accordingly.
Furthermore, traditional financial analysis often adopts a monthly or quarterly approach. This infrequent analysis means that even for companies that have been around for a century, we might have fewer than 2,000 data points, limiting AI's potential application.
And then there's the issue of reliability. Financial markets are erratic, with trends that might be profitable one day and hemorrhage money the next. Despite their computational prowess, machines often falter in these volatile conditions, getting caught off guard by sudden market shifts.
A paradigm shift in Finance: Embracing AI
Yet, the potential of AI's usage in finance is too potent to ignore, and major institutions recognize it. Vanguard, for instance, recently incorporated AI into its quant stock strategies, ensuring they're more adaptive to ever-evolving markets. AQR Capital Management, another prominent player, is leveraging AI to mine textual data insights, refining and enhancing its longstanding strategies.
Robeco is not far behind, diligently integrating machine learning into its innovative "next-gen" strategies. But are they genuinely harnessing its full promise?
FINQ’s response: A novel approach
Companies are pouring billions upon billions of dollars into crafting portfolios that aim to outperform the market and yet, astonishingly, many falter. It's almost surreal. But here's where the plot thickens: FINQ is not only challenging this narrative but completely transforming it. With not one, not two, but THREE portfolios that outperform the market through distinct investment strategies, they're soaring past expectations by a staggering margin.
FINQ’s secret sauce
What's their secret sauce? For starters, FINQ has innovatively peeled back the layers of marketing fluff that shroud the financial world. They've introduced a unique, transparent ranking system for all financial products in the market - from the 500 S&P stocks to every American fund. Their approach to data is groundbreaking. Just as Google's brilliance emanates from its data-centric philosophy, FINQ, too, places data at the epicenter of its operations. It's this relentless pursuit of data-driven clarity that propels FINQ's revolutionary steps towards harnessing powerful data and implementing avant-garde AI mechanisms.
Leading the way
But FINQ doesn’t stop there. They're not merely participants in the merger of finance and technology; they're orchestrating it. By masterfully blending AI's capabilities with the wisdom of traditional financial expertise, they've crafted a strategy that makes many time-honored methods seem antiquated.
Emphasizing data quality and diversity
FINQ doesn't just seek data; it pursues quality and diverse sourcing. Recognizing the value of varied information, the company acquires vast data sets from reliable sources, including seasoned analysts, public sentiment on social media, and fundamental financial metrics. Their stock products stand as a testament to this, processing daily thousands of data points drawn from these resources. The fruits of this intricate process? A suite of stock products that are nothing short of remarkable in their performance between August 24, 2022, and October 17, 2023:
- FINQFIRST: A curated list of 10 stocks to buy, boasting an impressive return of 30.43%+.
- FINQLAST: Another set of 10 stocks to short-sell, still outshining many with a return of 24.86%+.
