Building a hedged portfolio often takes days, if not weeks of research and execution; an uncertain economy, such as times of rising oil prices or major geopolitical rifts, can make it even more challenging to reduce your overall investment risks.
With Public’s latest innovation, Generated Assets, all you need is to type in a prompt into their AI to find new ways to hedge your portfolio. Think of it like an ETF with infinite possibilities — completely customizable and based on your thesis, not someone else’s.
Here’s how it works: you type in an idea like “companies positioned to benefit from rising oil prices” or “defense tech companies growing revenue 25% year-over-year.” Public’s AI then dispatches a swarm of agents to scan every single US stock, evaluate them, and build a custom index around your thesis.
What really stands out is how clearly it explains why each stock is included. And before you invest, you can backtest your idea against the S&P 500, so you’re making decisions with real context—not just guessing.
Beyond Generated Assets, Public lets you invest in stocks, bonds, options, crypto, all in one place. They’ll even give you an uncapped 1% match when you transfer your investments over from another platform.
AI that informs
Public also uses artificial intelligence to help investors understand why stock price movements happen. Investors get access to detailed AI-generated summaries directly on an asset’s performance chart, along with AI-generated earnings recaps.
Alpha, Public’s AI-powered research assistant, allows any investor to ask questions about any asset’s real-time and historical market data, providing individuals with deeper analysis to inform their investment decision.
Top-notch security
Public uses state-of-the-art encryption to keep your information secure, and Two-Factor Authentication via SMS ensures you can only log in with a registered device.
Securities in customers’ accounts are protected up to $500,000. The company’s US-based customer experience team has FINRA-licensed specialists standing by to help if you have any questions.
All your investing in one place.
Public started in 2019 as the first broker-dealer to introduce commission-free, real-time fractional investing. It’s since become one of the largest multi-asset investing platforms for long-term investors.
Since its inception, Public has stayed ahead of the curve by offering people new ways to grow their wealth. They were one of the earliest brokerages to offer crypto investments, and in 2024 Public became the first to offer rebates on options trading, sharing up to 50% of its revenue directly with customers.
It’s the platform for serious investors. At every step, you get the tools, data, and AI-powered insights you need to make informed investment decisions.
