Goldman Sachs Launches AI-Free Index (news.slashdot.org)

Goldman Sachs has launched an "S&P ex-AI" index (SPXXAI) that tracks the S&P 500 stocks not related to AI, offering investors a way to "hedge their exposure to the AI trade," reports Axios. From the report: "Excluding 'AI enablers' from the passive benchmark would eliminate the noise introduced by the AI hype," Louis Miller, head of the firm's equity custom basket desk, wrote in a note to clients about the new index.

The ex-AI index is a compilation of all the stocks in the S&P 500 that are not related to AI, also referred to as old-economy stocks.
It's available exclusively to Goldman customers, created in collaboration with S&P Dow Jones Indices.

Taking all the AI out of the S&amp;P doesn't leave much behind, as AI companies make up ~45% of the index, according to the note. Over the last three years, the S&amp;P 500 is up 76%. The ex-AI index is only up 32% in that same time period.<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;">
