FINQ's August update details the returns of two newly launched ETFs, which utilize artificial intelligence to manage large-cap U.S. equity investments. The AIUP ETF, a long-only strategy, has delivered a 23.51% return since its inception, while the AINT ETF, employing a dollar-neutral approach, has achieved a 23.83% return. For comparison, the S&P 500 index returned 11.61% over the same period, from February 5, 2026, to August 31, 2026.

Both ETFs, launched on NYSE Arca and recognized as the first SEC-registered ETFs in the U.S. to be fully managed by AI, aim to outperform benchmarks by autonomously ranking, selecting, and weighting companies based on their performance. FINQ's proprietary AI framework continuously analyzes vast amounts of financial data in real-time, enabling the ETFs to dynamically adjust their holdings in response to evolving market conditions.

Since their launch, both AIUP and AINT have consistently outperformed the S&P 500 at each month-end, demonstrating the effectiveness of their AI-driven investment strategies.
