Total Return

Performance is calculated net of fees. alphaAI performance is representative of real client accounts running our default strategy, which invests in TQQQ and SQQQ. Wealthfront performance is representative of their default Classic portfolio, and Betterment performance is representative of their default Core portfolio. Due to leveraged and inverse ETFs, the risk level with alphaAI’s strategy will inherently be higher than those of Wealthfront, Betterment, and the S&P 500. The figures shown are averages. Actual figures may vary due to factors such as market timing and portfolio size.

Get 3x daily long exposure to the S&P 500.

At alphaAI, we specialize in quantitative, high-upside investment strategies that trade leveraged ETFs. One of our key instruments is the UPRO ETF.

UPRO aims to provide 3x the daily long exposure of the S&P 500. For example, If the S&P 500 gains 1%, then UPRO will gain 3%.

Adding UPRO to your portfolio can magnify your returns, but it also comes with an elevated level of risk. Our investment AI optimizes your portfolio's risk in response to real-time market conditions.

Amplified Returns

UPRO ETF can be particularly beneficial during strong market uptrends, allowing you to capture outsized returns compared to traditional ETFs.

Strategic Flexibility

Combining UPRO with safer assets like bonds or cash can help mitigate risks and manage volatility effectively. This makes alphaAI an excellent partner in diversifying wealth expansion opportunities.

Holdings

What's included in the UPRO ETF?

UPRO's holdings are primarily made up of a mix of S&P 500 index swaps and individual stocks. UPRO is designed to give you 3x the daily long exposure of the S&P 500.

3x S&P 500 Return Exposure

Due to its S&P500 leveraged nature, UPRO allows your portfolio to be exposed to 3 times the daily performance of the S&P 500.

High Exposure to Market Giants

The S&P 500 is comprised of the some of the largest, highest quality US stocks, including Apple, Microsoft, Berkshire Hathaway, and Amazon.

Compare

How does UPRO compare to other leveraged ETFs?

UPRO stands out among leveraged ETFs due to its 3x exposure to the S&P 500, offering significant upside potential. However, what truly matters is how we harness that potential. At alphaAI, we don't just focus on a single ETF like UPRO - our AI-driven system dynamically manages exposure across multiple leveraged ETFs, including UPRO, to optimize returns while controlling risk.

Inverse ETFs for Hedging

We utilize the inverse ETFs like SQQQ, which provides three times the inverse daily return of the NASDAQ-100, to opportunistically hedge long positions.

Market Exposure Management

We dynamically adjust your portfolio's market exposure to take advantage of market uptrends and minimize losses during downtrends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about alphaAI.

How does alphaAI work?

At alphaAI, every strategy has four modes: Surge, Steady, Cautious, and Defense. Our Investment AI will automatically switch between modes based on market conditions. 

The idea is simple: When the market looks good, we invest more to help you earn more. When the market seems risky, we invest less to help protect your money.

Learn more about our investment strategy modes.

How does alphaAI use AI?

We use AI to automate the entire investment process, from beginning to end.

At the core of our industry-leading AI system is a team of predictive machine learning models. These models are trained on decades of data from more than 10,000 global stocks, analyzing over 10 billion data points on average. Each model is built for a specific purpose, and together they work as a team to make smarter trading decisions.

Our portfolio management system then takes these predictions and uses a clear, rules-based process to decide how to act. This includes making trades and managing risk, all tailored to your unique investor profile. Plus, we’ve built in multiple safety measures to ensure that every decision stays within strict, pre-defined limits.

Read more about our technology.

Is it safe to let AI handle my money?

Yes, absolutely! There’s no chance our AI will take unexpected actions – and here’s why.

At its core, AI is simply machine learning (ML), which is a branch of math that uses models to find and learn from patterns in data. We use these predictive models alongside a clear, rules-based system to make trades and manage risk, all tailored to your unique investor profile. To add an extra layer of protection, we’ve built in multiple safety protocols to ensure every action stays within strict guidelines.

So, there’s no need to worry – AI isn’t sentient, and it can’t make its own decisions. It’s just a tool we use to process data and generate smart, reliable investment strategies.

Read more about our technology.

Are there any hidden fees? What’s the actual price?

At alphaAI, we don’t believe in the traditional management fee model. Why should your costs go up as your assets increase?

We charge a single, flat subscription fee. This is the only way we make money. We do not charge account opening fees, minimum account fees, withdrawal fees, or account closing fees.

At alphaAI, our mission is to make sophisticated investment strategies accessible to everyone! We pride ourselves in our affordable and transparent pricing.

How is alphaAI different from other roboadvisors?

alphaAI is the only roboadvisor that adjusts your portfolio to the markets in real-time. Other roboadvisors use a purely passive investment approach, which leaves you unable to take advantage of market trends.

At alphaAI, we use responsive investment strategies to manage your risk. The idea is simple: When the market looks good, we invest more to help you earn more. When the market seems risky, we invest less to help protect your money.

Read more about the alphaAI difference.

What is alphaAI’s investment philosophy? How do you control risk and drawdowns?

Our goal is simple: deliver better risk-adjusted returns than the market. 

‍Our AI system adjusts your strategy to your unique investor profile and risk tolerance. We adapt your portfolio’s risk level to the markets in real time, helping keep your portfolio’s volatility and drawdowns within your defined acceptable range.

Read more about our investment philosophy.

Why does alphaAI focus on leveraged ETFs? Aren’t they highly risky?

We focus on leveraged ETFs because they have the potential for big returns. For example, TQQQ has delivered an average return of 41% per year since it started. That’s the kind of growth that gets us excited — and if it excites you too, you’re exactly the type of client we’re built for.  

But it’s important to understand both sides of the story. While TQQQ has delivered strong long-term results, it also lost 80% in 2022, which is completely unacceptable from an investment standpoint. That’s exactly the kind of risk we work hard to manage. Our main focus is protecting you from those big losses by using automated tools to adjust how much of your portfolio is invested based on market conditions and your personal risk tolerance.

To give you some perspective, the S&P 500 has an average annual volatility of 20% — think of volatility as a way to measure how much risk you’re taking. With our technology, you decide how much risk you’re comfortable with — less, more, or about the same as the S&P 500 — and our AI takes care of the rest to keep your portfolio on track, with the goal of delivering better returns than the level of risk taken on.

Learn about why loss minimization is the key to building wealth.

How hands-on or off is alphaAI?

alphaAI is completely hands-off – set it and forget it!

All you have to do is set your investor profile and customize your strategies. After that, we take care of everything for you. We automatically make trades and manage your portfolio’s risk in response to market conditions. Our leading-edge AI system stays on top of the market so you don’t have to. Rest easy knowing that regardless of what the market does, we are responding in the best way for you and your financial goals. 

Read more about how the alphaAI process works.

What assets can I invest in through alphaAI?

Our strategies are optimized for ETFs, including leveraged and inverse ETFs. We will be adding additional asset classes in the future.

Portfolio diversification is the practice of spreading investments around so that exposure to any one type of asset is limited. Personalized portfolios refer to the creation of a portfolio that is tailored to a client’s investor profile, preferences, and goals. Tax loss harvesting is the timely selling of securities at a loss to offset the amount of capital gains tax owed from selling profitable assets. An individual taxpayer can write off up to $3,000 in net losses annually. Tax loss harvesting does not apply to short-term trades subject to the wash sale loss rule. At alphaAI, tax loss harvesting is done where applicable; however, the majority of trades made in client accounts are subject to the wash sale loss rule and do not qualify for tax loss harvesting. In these cases, losses, if any, are used to offset the cost basis, resulting in a lower amount of capital gain, if any. Dynamic portfolio adjustments are defined as actions taken to optimally position a client portfolio for changing market conditions based on their investor profile and risk tolerance. Automated risk management is defined as the automatic adjustment of client portfolio risk levels (such as net exposure, beta, and R2) in response to market conditions. Responsive downside protection is defined as actions taken in response to market conditions to protect clients from losses. Dynamic asset allocation is defined as active portfolio rebalancing to maximize gains and minimize losses in response to market conditions. Automated portfolio hedging is defined as the management of net exposure and long/short positions to hedge portfolios against potential market drawdowns.
