Meet GAIAA (Genetic Algorithm-based Iterative Asset Allocation)

Dear Investor, meet GAIAA (Genetic Algorithm-based Iterative Asset Allocation).
In Darwin’s evolutionary theory, only the fittest survive the battle of natural selection. Similarly, Kristal.AI’s biology-inspired methodology selects the best portfolio design for every individual’s needs. Our proprietary AI uses an underlying genetic algorithm to choose and modify strategies from a pool of thousands of permutations.
At each stage, the curated strategies are tested against user-defined objectives, and only the ‘fittest’ strategies are chosen to finally evolve into a risk-limiting model which optimizes asset allocation and maximizes returns.
GAIAA is a multi-tasker and forms the backbone of our AI-enabled investing platform. We also use bootstrap and other algorithms to facilitate better portfolio planning. Let’s take a look.
Kristal.AI follows a meticulous 4-step methodology for scoring each equity ETF. Here’s how our algorithm does it:
-
The universe of USD-traded ETFs are first categorized into large-cap, mid-cap, or as region-specific ETFs
-
We apply some Math (Sharpe ratio, return percentage, volatility, liquidity)
-
Now, we add some History to the mix. We dig into the archives to understand each ETF’s historical performance against a standard
-
Then, we rank each ETF and choose the best in each category
-
This gives us a pool of funds to use for our strategies
-
GAIAA jumps into the fray now. She curates funds from this pool of the best strategies and recommends the best ones for your portfolio
