Inspiration

As a client of financial advisors, I’ve experienced firsthand the frustration of high advisor fees that don’t reflect their actual performance, a generic approach to managing my investments, and slow responses to critical market changes. It’s discouraging when fees aren’t tied to results, when the advice does not include fast moving, but long-term reliable stocks (like Nvidia), and when my portfolio can’t quickly adapt to events like economic downturns or geopolitical crises.

What it does

AIM is an AI Hedge Fund Trader agent that analyzes client's portfolio and offers contextual advice for better returns, and recommend strategies based on current events, investor sentiments from news, future outlook and cash flow changes, leveraging options flow data.

This enables investors to price in risks and make data driven investment decisions and respond quickly.

We also simplify the complex financial investment jargons for retail clients, provide automated explanation behind the recommended strategy.

How we built it

Extensively leveraged 3rd party market data sources like Yahoo Finance, MarketWatch, NASDAQ, combined with latest news articles as they appear in Google Search that could potentially impact the portfolio. The proprietary algorithm enables to process this data (structured and unstructured) in integrated manner and provide hyper contextual recommendations like hedge fund trader.

Challenges we ran into

  • Understanding the market data attributes from various data sources (currently free)
  • Complex trade indicators like option flow data, MACD, Bollinger indicators, VWAP for each of the stock using Python with volumes in GBs.
  • Automatically parsing URLs for the latest news articles and identifying investor sentiments in scalable manner, while reducing the need for API execution to minimize cost.
  • Performance requirements when the client portfolio exceeds 50+ stock symbols.

Accomplishments that we're proud of
