Stock Market Forecast: Equal Weighted Sector Strategy
The following trading strategy was developed using I Know First’s AI Algorithm daily forecasts from January 1st, 2020, to November 15th, 2024, with a focus on S&P 500 stocks selected based on the predictability filter. This strategy is available to our institutional clients: hedge funds, banks, and investment houses, as a tier 2 service on top of tier 1 (the daily forecast).
The strategy involves trading level 1 equal-weighted ETFs from RSP family. It covers broad segments of the economy, such as Communication Services, Consumer Discretionary, Financials, Technology and others.
The strategy involves constructing a signal-weighted portfolio with monthly rebalancing. Additionally, we utilize a signal outlier filter to ensure that stocks with signals outside of the selected range, i.e., those exhibiting extreme values, are not included.
In this strategy, we select three Level 1 RSP ETF sectors based on the signal-weighted method with a maximum exposure of 50% per each sector, if there is cash left we buy RSP. This is a long only strategy with monthly rebalance.
The strategy provides a positive return of 123.32% which exceeds RSP return by 61.37%. Below we can notice the strategy’s performance over each year. The strategy outperformed RSP in 33 out of 63 periods or in 52% of cases. In yellow, we can notice sectors where we had open positions for a time period.
Below we can notice the strategy behavior for each year. The I Know First strategy has a high Sharpe ratio (which compares the return of an investment with its risk) of 0.68 and a Sortino ratio (which compares the return of an investment with its given level of downside risk) of 0.88.
I Know First Algorithm – Seeking the Key & Generating Stock Market Forecast
The I Know First predictive algorithm is a successful attempt to discover the rules of the market that enable us to make accurate stock market forecasts. Taking advantage of artificial intelligence and machine learning and using insights of chaos theory and self-similarity (the fractals), the algorithmic system is able to predict the behavior of over 13,500 markets. The key principle of the algorithm lies in the fact that a stock’s price is a function of many factors interacting non-linearly. Therefore, it is advantageous to use elements of artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms. How does it work? At first, an analysis of inputs is performed, ranking them according to their significance in predicting the target stock price. Then multiple models are created and tested utilizing 15 years of historical data. Only the best-performing models are kept while the rest are rejected. Models are refined every day, as new data becomes available. As the algorithm is purely empirical and self-learning, there is no human bias in the models and the market forecast system adapts to the new reality every day while still following general historical rules.
