dougclinton · x · 2026-08-12
Intelligent Alpha has launched the IA 500, a new stock market index designed to serve as a benchmark for the AI era. The firm has been experimenting with investment strategies and benchmarks built using frontier AI models since 2023.
Previously, the team published the "Intelligent Earnings Benchmark" to test the models' ability to predict forward earnings for stocks. The IA 500 represents their attempt to use AI to create a more intelligent representation of the stock market, seeking to disrupt entrenched leaders like the S&P 500.
