The investment landscape is evolving faster than ever. Global markets produce more data every day than any human could process, and investor expectations are shifting toward strategies that deliver speed, precision, and discipline. Artificial intelligence has been gradually integrated into asset management, but until now, its role has largely been supportive, an assistant to human portfolio managers rather than the decision-maker.
FINQ is changing that paradigm with the launch of AIUP and AINT*, two actively-managed U.S. large-cap equity ETFs now available to investors. Backed by a proprietary autonomous AI model, these ETFs are the first SEC-registered funds in the U.S. entirely managed by artificial intelligence, marking a milestone in automated investing.
Moving Beyond Active vs. Passive
For decades, investors have faced a familiar choice: discretionary active management or passive index-tracking. FINQ introduces a third path: a fully autonomous approach where AI evaluates, selects, and rebalances portfolios based on systematic, data-driven analysis.
FINQ’s AI framework ranks all 500 S&P 500® companies every day. These rankings inform which stocks enter the portfolio, how positions are weighted, and when they are adjusted. Human involvement is limited to governance and oversight, while the AI makes every portfolio decision in real time, free from emotion or narrative bias.
The AI Manager, Not the Assistant
Many firms today describe themselves as “AI-powered,” but in most cases, artificial intelligence is a tool for human decision-making. FINQ flips that model.
“AI in the investment world has the capacity to outperform humans,” said Eldad Tamir, Founder and CEO of FINQ. “FINQ is built on a data-only system that makes investment decisions much better than humans, as it has the ability to process immense amounts of data, without the disadvantages aligned with human fear, greed, urgency to act, and other disabling human attributes.”
For the first time in the U.S.-regulated ETF market, human managers do not select securities, override AI signals, or adjust portfolios based on sentiment. This creates a new category of investment products: AI-managed ETFs, where the algorithm itself is the portfolio manager.
Two ETFs, One Powerful AI Engine
Both AIUP and AINT* are powered by the same AI platform but offer different investment strategies:
- AIUP is designed to hold the top-ranked U.S. large-cap equities for long-term exposure, ensuring the portfolio consistently reflects the AI’s highest-conviction picks.
- AINT* takes a more complex approach, shorting the lowest-ranked stocks while investing 1 of the highest-ranked stocks per dollar, maintaining a dollar-neutral portfolio that aims to capture opportunities in both rising and falling markets.
Making AI-Driven Investing Accessible
By delivering fully autonomous investment strategies through ETF structures, FINQ brings institutional-grade AI portfolio management to investors in a familiar, cost-efficient vehicle.
“AIUP and AINT* reflect FINQ’s belief that the future of investing lies in systematic, data-driven decision-making,” said Eldad Tamir, Founder and CEO of FINQ. “By delivering AI-managed strategies through ETFs, we aim to make advanced investment frameworks accessible within a structure investors already know and trust.”
The Dawn of Algorithm-Led Portfolios
With AIUP and AINT*, FINQ is launching ETFs and signaling a major shift in portfolio management. As markets continue to grow faster and more complex, autonomous AI-managed strategies may redefine expectations for performance, consistency, and scalability, challenging the dominance of human-driven investment decisions.
