“Innovation distinguishes leaders from followers.” Steve Jobs.

Peering over the edge of this cliff of infinite possibilities, we can’t help but feel a kind of overwhelming excitement in a world where the speed of change is dizzying. The frontiers into which artificial intelligence (AI) is leading us are both uncharted and immensely exciting. Are you prepared to go on this adventure? We are about to take off, so settle in to your seats, as the flight is going to be turbulent.

ChatGPT-4 is one of the leading lights in this new era of innovation; by adding plugins, we are able to push the limits of this technology into previously uncharted realms. The way we do business is about to be completely transformed by this technology.

An impressive financial analyst is at your fingertip.

ChatGPT can be transformed into a financial quant and programmer with over 10 years of experience. It will analyze one of the most famous portfolios in the world, Ray Dalio’s All Weather, and compare it to a standard 60/40 portfolio. How long would it take a human asset manager to do it if they knew how to program, searched for information on the model on the internet, and downloaded the data? If we also asked them to come up with improvement ideas and test them, this job could take several weeks of work. In the exponential world, however, we can do it in less than 5 minutes. This is a huge change, and we are only just beginning this journey.

Plugins.

Plugins are a very useful tool for including additional information and enriching the chat responses. They also enable us to interact with third-party applications via APIs, greatly expanding our possibilities and options.

It should be noted that the use of plugins is constantly evolving, and more and more applications are following suit. In fact, we can say that we are dealing with a constantly expanding market that is rife with opportunities for those who know how to capitalize on it. ChatGPT Plus is required for access.

The following is a brief description of the two plugins we will be using.

PortfolioLab. Anybody interested in financial analysis will find this plugin to be an essential resource since it gives ChatGPT-4 access to a multitude of financial data. The examination of the All Weather portfolio’s elements serves as an ideal illustration of what may be accomplished with this combination.

But, ChatGPT-4 can now write code in Jupyter Notebook, a vital tool for data research and programming, thanks to the Noteable plugin. What kind of power does this combination possess? ChatGPT-4 can generate and optimize code for you using the magic of Noteable, accelerating your productivity and saving you from tiresome, repeated activities. This service may be new to you, but I can tell you that it will alter the way you use Jupyter Notebook.

The best part is that this is just the start; it's a preview of what we can accomplish with these plugins acting as secure passports to our personal information.

Putting it all together

Copy and paste the following prompt into ChatGPT-4 with the PortfolioLab and Noteable plugins: Enjoy the ride.

As a quant asset manager with over 10 years of experience, you aim to conduct a study on Ray Dalio's All Weather portfolio. To achieve this, you need to follow this action plan:

1. **Portfolio Details**: Provide the details of Ray Dalio's All Weather portfolio. This includes the asset allocation and the specific instruments used.
2. **Python Implementation**: Implement the All Weather portfolio in Python. This includes creating a Python notebook, importing the necessary libraries, and writing the code to implement the model. Use as many years as possible for the
3. **Data Analysis**: analyze the performance of the All Weather portfolio. This includes calculating key metrics such as returns, volatility, and the Sharpe ratio. Calculate metrics in annual terms.
4. **Compare the analysis** with the 60/40 benchmark.
5. **Create interactive** charts with equities and drawdowns.
6. **Model Improvement**: Provide suggestions on how to improve the model. This could involve adjusting the asset allocation, incorporating machine learning techniques, or using alternative instruments.

Generated Research

1. Portfolio Details

Ray Dalio's All Weather portfolio is designed to perform well in any economic condition.
It's based on a balanced risk allocation rather than a traditional asset allocation.
Here's the breakdown:

30% in Stocks (for instance, Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF, VTI)
40% in Long-Term Bonds (for instance, iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF, TLT)
15% in Intermediate-Term Bonds (for instance, iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF, IEF)
7.5% in Gold (for instance, SPDR Gold Shares, GLD)
7.5% in Commodities (for instance, iShares S&P GSCI Commodity-Indexed Trust, GSG)
Now, let's move to the second step.
2. Python Implementation

To implement this in Python, we'll need to create a Python notebook and write some code.
We'll use libraries like pandas for data manipulation, yfinance to download the stock data, and matplotlib for visualization.

Here's a basic outline of the steps we'll need to take:

Import the necessary libraries.
Define the tickers of the ETFs that represent each asset class in the portfolio.
Download historical data for these tickers using yfinance.
Calculate the daily returns of these ETFs.
Assign weights to each ETF according to the All Weather portfolio allocation.
Calculate the portfolio return by multiplying the daily returns by the weights and then summing across the assets for each day.
3. Data Analysis 

In this step, we will calculate key metrics such as returns, volatility, and Sharpe ratio for the All Weather portfolio.

Here's a basic outline of the steps we'll need to take:

Calculate the annual returns of the portfolio.
Calculate the annual volatility of the portfolio.
Calculate the Sharpe ratio of the portfolio.

The key metrics for the All Weather portfolio have been calculated:

Annual Returns: Approximately 3.13%
Annual Volatility: Approximately 12.67%
Sharpe Ratio: Approximately 0.089 (risk free 2%)
5. Create Interactive Charts
6. Model Improvement

There are several ways we could potentially improve the model:

Adjusting the Asset Allocation:
* The All Weather portfolio is designed to perform well across different economic conditions, but it might not be the optimal portfolio for all investors. Depending on your risk tolerance and investment goals, you might want to adjust the asset allocation. For example, if you're more risk-tolerant, you might want to increase the allocation to stocks.

* Incorporating Machine Learning Techniques: Machine learning could be used to predict future returns and volatility, which could then be used to optimize the portfolio allocation.

* Using Alternative Instruments: The All Weather portfolio uses ETFs to represent each asset class, but there might be other instruments that could provide better exposure to these asset classes. For example, instead of using a gold ETF, you could invest in gold futures.

* Incorporating Other Factors: The All Weather portfolio only considers the asset class when determining the allocation. However, there might be other factors that could impact the performance of the portfolio, such as the momentum or value of the assets.

Takeaways

  • Awaken! Neo Neo, it’s time to wake up; the world is no longer linear. The world we currently inhabit is one in which lifelong learning is essential.
  • AI won’t replace you as a financial analyst; instead, someone using this technology will do, as shown in this simple example.
  • Plugins are an important piece of the AI puzzle, and we will witness an explosion of them.
