M’AI I help you?

This week saw Fiona Nicolson talking to Weldon Rice, head of AI ETFs at Qraft Technologies about how AI works with their approach to investing. In the latest rebalancing report for LQAI, the firm’s LG-QRAFT AI-Powered U.S. Large Cap Core ETF, the algorithm showed increased conviction in the IT, communications-services and consumer-discretionary sectors. It highlighted Nvidia, Apple and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) as its top stock picks.

Rice says: “The IT sector was chosen due to its ability to navigate significant geopolitical and supply-chain challenges while capitalising on burgeoning opportunities in AI technology.”

We also have an In My Opinion column this week from Tim Lowe of Attestant who breaks down the crucial differences between bitcoin and Ethereum, both of which increasingly feature in global ETPs. Lowe writes: “On the surface bitcoin and Ether are very similar assets currently with a high degree of price correlation. There are however distinct differences that may, in the longer term, cause a divergence in their price. Ethereum has the potential for a big increase in adoption across a wide variety of sectors whilst the narrative around bitcoin as a store of value and hedge against inflation is growing. Diversification across both assets maybe the best strategy.”

Crypto news from Fineqia International, LIAN Group and Nickel Digital Asset Management predicted enormous crypto growth through the popularity of the new crypto ETFs worldwide. Fineqia’s study revealed that digital asset based ETP assets are 77 per cent ahead in this year.

LATEST NEWS

The surge in bitcoin ETF launches and funds flowing into the sector is transforming institutional investment in digital assets but arbitrage focused hedge funds are still the most attractive way to invest, according to new global research by London-based Nickel Digital Asset Management (Nickel).
Fineqia International has announced that its analysis of global ETPs with digital assets as underlying collateral revealed Assets Under Management (AUM) year-to-date (YTD) increased to USD87.9 billion, marking a 77 per cent increase from USD49.5 billion. The total number of ETPs increased by 32 to 194, or 20 per cent more, than those on Jan. 1 this year, the firm says.
By 2025, cryptocurrency ETFs will form 5 per cent of hedge fund and pension fund portfolios, predicts blockchain expert Fiorenzo Manganiello, co-founder and managing partner of LIAN Group.
Tim Lowe of Attestant writes that, created in 2009, bitcoin is a “Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”.  Vitalik Buterin extended bitcoin and launched Ethereum in 2015, a  “Decentralised Application Platform”.
