What Is the I Know First AI-Powered Portfolio?
Institutional AI, Now Available to Individual Investors
The I Know First AI Portfolio is a concentrated, long-only equity portfolio built entirely by the I Know First predictive algorithm. Originally developed for institutional clients, including hedge funds and family offices, the portfolio has been opened to individual subscribers as part of I Know First’s expanding retail offering.
Each month, the algorithm evaluates thousands of stocks across the S&P 500 universe using signal strength and predictability scores across multiple time horizons. The top-ranked positions form the portfolio for the next rebalancing cycle. No human analyst overrides the output. No discretionary judgment is applied. The picks are purely data-driven.
Methodology
AI-Driven Stock Selection
The I Know First algorithm uses neural networks, genetic algorithms, and chaos theory to generate daily predictions across 13,500+ assets. Positions are selected based on signal magnitude and historical predictability, not analyst opinion.
Structure
Equal-Weight, Monthly Rebalance
The portfolio holds an equal-weighted set of positions rebalanced approximately every 28 days. Equal weighting ensures no single position dominates returns and that the signal quality of each pick is treated consistently.

How the Portfolio Works
The Selection Process
At the start of each rebalancing period, the I Know First algorithm runs its daily forecast cycle across the full S&P 500 stock universe. Each stock receives a signal score reflecting predicted price direction and magnitude, combined with a predictability score based on how consistently the algorithm has predicted that stock’s historical behavior.
The portfolio is constructed by ranking all stocks and selecting the top positions by combined signal quality across multiple time horizons, from 3 days to 12 months. Holdings are then equal-weighted and held for approximately 28 days before the next cycle runs. The process repeats every month with no manual input.
Who This Portfolio Is For
The AI Portfolio is designed for investors who want systematic, rules-based exposure to equity markets without relying on analyst picks or discretionary judgment. It is suited for long-term investors comfortable with monthly rebalancing and willing to follow the algorithm through both outperforming and underperforming periods.
The strategy is long-only and fully invested at all times. It does not use leverage, options, or short positions. All picks are drawn from large-cap U.S. equities within the S&P 500 index.
Current Holdings Are Reserved for Subscribers
While the full historical performance record is published openly, the actual stock picks for the current active period are exclusive to I Know First subscribers. Each month, subscribers receive the updated list of positions before the rebalancing date, giving them the ability to act ahead of the next cycle. Subscribing gives you access to the same AI-generated picks used to build the track record above.

Since-inception figures reflect all 15 periods through the latest available data. Past performance does not guarantee future results. All figures are based on equal-weighted, long-only positions rebalanced approximately every 28 days. The S&P 500 is used as the benchmark index.
