Public Launches AI-Powered 'Generated Assets' for Custom Portfolio Hedging

Public has expanded its suite of investor tools with the launch of 'Generated Assets,' an AI-driven feature that allows users to build tailored portfolios through simple text prompts. By leveraging a network of AI agents, the platform can scan the entire US equity market to identify companies that fit a specific investment thesis, such as those poised to benefit from rising energy costs or high-growth defense technology firms. The tool aims to reduce the time and research typically required to construct a hedged portfolio, which often takes days or weeks. Once a custom index is generated, the platform provides transparent explanations for each asset's inclusion, allowing investors to understand the underlying logic of the AI's selection process. To enhance decision-making, Public has integrated backtesting capabilities, enabling users to compare their custom AI-generated strategies against the S&P 500. This provides historical context and performance data before capital is committed. In addition to Generated Assets, the platform continues to integrate AI across its ecosystem. This includes 'Alpha,' an AI research assistant for real-time market data analysis, and AI-generated summaries of earnings reports and price movements directly on asset charts. The move positions Public as a multi-asset hub, offering access to stocks, bonds, options, and cryptocurrency. The company, founded in 2019, continues to target serious investors by providing professional-grade data and analysis tools to the retail market.
