iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV)
CPAI: Exceptional Performance, Convincing Factor Mix, A Buy (Rating Upgrade)
I upgrade the Counterpoint Quantitative Equity ETF to a Buy, as I believe its AI-informed strategy should secure outperformance versus IVV into 2027.

CPAI has delivered outstanding results since inception, sporting an almost 8% annualized active return over December 2023–September 2026 (with IVV selected as a benchmark).
