Questions about this strategy

What is the Leveraged Nasdaq strategy?

Leveraged Nasdaq is one of alphaAI's quant hedge fund strategies. It trades TQQQ, a 3x leveraged Nasdaq-100 ETF, around a steady base of VGT, and can hedge with SQQQ in downtrends. The system adjusts the mix every trading day.

What does this TQQQ strategy hold?

It holds VGT, an unleveraged technology ETF, as a steady base at all times. It adds TQQQ, which seeks three times the daily move of the Nasdaq-100, when the trend supports it. In a sustained downtrend it can hedge with SQQQ. Anything not invested sits in cash.

What is the difference between TQQQ and QQQ?

QQQ tracks the Nasdaq-100 one for one. TQQQ seeks three times the daily move of the same index and resets that leverage every day. Over any period longer than a day, TQQQ will not simply return three times what QQQ returned.

What does SQQQ do?

SQQQ moves in the opposite direction of the Nasdaq-100. This strategy uses it only as a hedge in a sustained downtrend, and never holds it at the same time as TQQQ.

Is TQQQ a good long-term investment?

Holding TQQQ through every market is hard. Because it resets daily, a choppy or falling market can shrink the position even when the Nasdaq-100 ends up flat. This strategy holds TQQQ only when the trend supports it and steps out or hedges when it doesn't.

What are the risks of this strategy?

This is one of alphaAI's highest-risk strategies. Leveraged ETF risks include compounding, correlation, derivatives, and holding period risk, among others. The system reduces exposure and can hedge, but it cannot prevent losses or get out at the top. Only invest money you can afford to lose.

Should this be my whole portfolio?

No. It is built as the higher-risk slice of a portfolio, alongside a Core portfolio holding the bulk of your money. You choose the size.

How much does Leveraged Nasdaq cost?

Leveraged Nasdaq, like every alphaAI Pro strategy, costs 0.50% per year on assets under management, or $4 a month for accounts under $10,000, with no performance fee. The minimum to start is $1,000. The ETFs held also charge their own expense ratios, which are separate from our fee.

Where is my money held?

Your money is held in your own account at Alpaca Securities LLC, a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC. The account is in your name.

Can I stop or change it?

Yes, any time. There is no lock-in. You can change your allocation, switch strategies, or withdraw. New deposits have a 7-business-day hold, a standard anti-money-laundering rule at alphaAI's brokerage partner.

decisions.
