Daily Forecast Based on an Advanced Self-Learning Algorithm

Page 2: I Know First Presentation (May 2016)

I Know First provides daily investment forecast based on an advanced self-learning algorithm (time frames: 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 1 month, 3 months and 1 year)

Technology based on artificial intelligence & machine learning, incorporating elements of artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms, developed to analyze and predict financial markets.

The algorithm is self-Learning, adaptable and scalable, is applied to discover best investment opportunities or as a decision support system of an existing investment process

Tracks over 3000 assets (Stocks, World Indexes, ETFs, Interest rates) and growing

Customized algorithmic solutions (extended tailored access to algorithmic predictions, integration of additional markets/securities)

Clients: Family Offices, WM Companies, Advisors, Retail Clients –grown by 400% during 2013-2015

How It Works – Daily Prediction Process

The results are constantly improving as the algorithm learns from its successes and failures

Daily data added to our 15 years historical file

Run a learning & prediction cycle with new combined data.

Daily predictions for each stock, currency, commodity, etc..

• Every day the algorithm generates heat maps demonstrating the

overall direction of the markets in the 6 time frames.

• The algorithm outputs a predicted trend as an absolute number

(not a percentage) known as signal strength

• Table is ordered by signal strength.

Example: A bullish asset would be indicated by a green “buy” signal at the top of the table.

A bearish asset would be denominated by a red “sell” prediction at the bottom of the

table.

Two indicators:

• Signal – Predicted movement of the asset

• Predictability Indicator – the fitness function (simplified: a correlation based quality measure of the signal) Key to identify and focus on most predictable markets and securities, enhancing the overall performance

P/EBottom-up approach: • Investment analysis starts with and focuses on individual stocks• IKF’s algorithmic predictions are integrated:

a) To discover additional opportunities and/or

b) To perform algorithmic screening in parallel

Top-down approach: • merged “By Industry” and major “World Indexes” forecasts within

(macro-) economic analysis

• identifying most promising markets/industries (i.e. sub-universes)

• focus on those sub-universes and go deeper from there, integrating the individual stocks forecasts (as DSS or opportunities identifier)
