- Key partnerships with Nvidia and Apple enhance exposure to AI and high-performance computing demand.

But how does the AI behind these picks actually work?
At the start of each month, the AI refreshes every strategy with up to 20 new stock picks, analyzing more than 150 investor-grade financial models built on over 15 years of global market data. It identifies where risk and reward align best — removing underperformers, keeping promising names, and adding fresh opportunities.
Each decision is backed by a rationale that clarifies why a stock was added, removed, or kept in the strategy.
The strategies use equal weighting across all selected stocks, creating a transparent and consistent way to track results. The goal is not just to find winners but also to know when to move on from the ones that stop performing.
