Performance Report of I Know First’s AI-Predictive System for ETF Universe – Beating SPY

Early upon the launch of I Know First’s forecasting algorithm, we implemented our AI-based ranking and forecasting model for a selection of 100 ETFs in the U.S. market. Since then, I Know First began to issue ETF forecasts for our global subscribed investors.

The daily updated forecast consists of two numbers: the signal which indicates the predicted direction and strength of the ETF’s movement in the respective time frame, and the predictability which indicates how predictable the algorithm considers the ETF’s movements to be.
