ChatGPT Better at Stock Picking Than Top Financial Fund Managers

ChatGPT has done it again, proving its stock-picking prowess and leaving some of the UK's most popular investment funds in the rearview mirror. A dummy portfolio of 38 stocks selected by ChatGPT gained 4.9% between March 6 and April 28, while 10 leading investment funds experienced an average loss of 0.8%.

This experiment, conducted by financial comparison site finder.com, suggests that fund managers might start feeling the heat as more people turn to AI for financial advice. But how did ChatGPT outsmart these investment gurus? Let's dive in.

Key Takeaways:

• ChatGPT's dummy portfolio of 38 stocks gained 4.9% while 10 leading UK investment funds saw an average loss of 0.8%

• Finder.com analysts used the 10 most popular UK funds on Interactive Investor as a benchmark

• ChatGPT picked stocks based on commonly used criteria, such as low debt and a track record of growth

• A survey found that 8% of UK adults already use ChatGPT for financial advice, while 19% would consider doing so

• Researchers at the University of Florida found ChatGPT could predict stock price movements more accurately than some basic analysis models

Why This Matters: ChatGPT's stock-picking success shows that AI has the potential to democratize the financial industry, shaking up traditional investment strategies and providing new opportunities for individual investors like you!
