This study was published 4/1/2020, immediately after the Feb to March 2020 Crash and how iFlip's A.I. SmartFolios performed compared to "The Market" (aka S&P 500 - SPY). Looking at the last 3 years, it showed the bull market run before the crash and then the aftermath of the crash.
Those who bought and held the market would’ve lost up to two years of gains. iFlip’s A.I. manages the risk and sells/buys investments based on its analysis of the market and the client's risk level. It’s based simply on mathematics and machine learning A.I. In every case, you’ll find that iFlip’s A.I. SmartFolios have beaten the market. The primary goal of A.I. is to protect what you have made (lose less), so your account can use that to grow wealth at a faster pace.
iFlip's A.I. SmartFolios analyze invested stock positions DAILY. Based on the results of the analysis, the system drives the investments for you. It acts in behalf of your best interest based on the back-end A.I.
Recently, iFlip’s A.I. SmartFolio dodged a large drop in the S&P500 (SPY). Early November the SmartFolio "Tactical Model" automatically sold iFlip's positions in the S&P 500 (SPY). This A.I. decision saved iFlip's customer investments from a -32.3% market drop that took place 3 months after it had sold off a large portion of the positions.
The A.I. SmartFolios are designed to see volatility and risk. This is how the SmartFolios are able to minimize risk. An important observation is that the SmartFolio bought back positions in March just as the market started to make gains. This allowed customers to use the money they saved to increase returns.
Most other systems focus on diversifying investments and hoping that those different stocks will balance returns. Robo Advisors use this strategy with rebalancing automation. At iFlip we believe the only true way to protect and grow wealth is to have a system that is smart enough to change based on the market's movements. This is why iFlip exists today. We've seen the advantages in having an A.I. SmartFolio technology that learns and is always protecting your wealth.
Many have said that you can't predict the stock market PERFECTLY. We totally agree with that statement. There's no way for any human to know EXACTLY when a crash is going to happen. However, iFlip's A.I. can help protect investments by getting close. Instead of selling the day before the crash, sometimes our A.I. sells days, weeks or months before a drop. Months before the 2020 crash, the system sold positions. The A.I. SmartFolio has a focus on protection and risk vs reward, which is why we have seen our software sell before market drops time and time again. The benefits of managing risk based on a constant changing market allows AI SmartFolios to truly manage risk. (See "iFlip 2020 Market Crash Chart")
These SmartFolios (A.I. or Algorithms) are designed to reduce your risk in the market and grow wealth OVER TIME. We do not believe in a silver bullet that makes people rich. We believe in changing and measuring the right factors in order to manage risk. We are not a “get rich quick scheme” or “day trading play”. As a result, using A.I. SmartFolios for a short period of time may not be as effective.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal.
Performance results presented on this website represent back-tested results and are hypothetical. Neither actual past performance nor hypothetical performance are indicators of future results. These results have inherent limitations, some of which are described herein. Back-tested returns do not represent the performance results of actual trading and are calculated through the retroactive application of the model portfolio configuration, designed with the benefit of hindsight. Since back-tested performance results do not represent actual trading, they man not reflect the impact that material economic and market factors might have had on the decision of the A.I., if the A.I. was managing client assets during the back-test period. No representation is being made that the A.I. strategy will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently significant material differences between back-tested performance results and performance results subsequently achieved by following a particular strategy. In addition, back-tested performance does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for in the preparation of back-tested performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
Keep in mind that while diversification and the use of algorithms may help manage risk it does not assure a profit, or protect completely again losses, in a down market. There is always the potential of losing money when you invest in securities, or other financial products. Investors should consider their investment objectives and risks carefully prior to investing.
