AI-driven tech picks surge 201% vs. S&P 500 as AI demand fuels outperformance

AI-driven stock-picking strategies have delivered exceptional returns for tech-focused portfolios, with one flagship index up over 201% since its launch in November 2023—far outpacing the S&P 500’s total return of 120.49%. The rally reflects relentless demand for AI infrastructure, despite the Federal Reserve’s first interest rate hike in three years, which has weighed on broader markets. A subscription-based service costing less than $9 per month has tracked a month-to-date gain of 6.84% for its flagship tech titans strategy, compared with a 0.25% rise in the S&P 500.
