The fund's holdings are diverse, with a notable focus on tech and healthcare, reflecting AI's growth and value predictions.

Amplify ETFs Declares June Income Distributions for its ETFs

AIEQ relies on several models powered by IBM's Watson to select stocks across all U.S. market segments. The ETF has a 0.75% expense ratio and $101 million in assets. Results in 2020 were strong. However, AIEQ's long-term track record is poor, lagging behind SPY by 62% since its November 2017 inception. AIEQ's six-month rolling win rate is only 38%. One of the advertised benefits of AIEQ's models is that they "learn" over time. However, portfolio turnover skyrocketed to 2719% last year, and results seem to be getting worse.

The AI Powered Equity ETF is an actively-managed ETF that uses artificial intelligence to select U.S. stocks with high potential for success. AIEQ's returns through 2020 were solid and slightly beat SPY with higher volatility. However, it's performed poorly since, coinciding with an excessive turnover rate that topped 1,700% in 2022. A hefty 0.75% expense ratio, minimal AUM, and a poor track record against virtually every passive size and style segment means investors should avoid AIEQ.

The AI Powered Equity ETF (AIEQ) has garnered attention recently, but not for positive reasons. Despite using artificial intelligence to make investment decisions, the ETF has struggled to perform well, with a disappointing one-year return of -13.92%.

Assessing the AIEQ ETF: Implications for AI Investing

The AI Powered Equity ETF has underperformed against all major market segments since its launch in 2017. To demonstrate, this article compares AIEQ's annual returns against nine passive alternatives. AIEQ's investment objective is to select stocks with a high probability of outperforming over the next twelve months. However, in the last year, its portfolio turnover rate skyrocketed to 1,700%. This feature is not a mark of confidence. Substantial changes are routine, and AIEQ does not consider ultra-concentration in any particular industry problematic. Semiconductors total 30% of today's portfolio.
