Frequently asked questions
What did the SEC action against Global Predictions involve?
In March 2024 the SEC charged Global Predictions with making false and misleading claims about its use of artificial intelligence. The firm had referred to itself as the 'first regulated AI financial advisor' and described its risk forecasts as expert AI-driven analysis. The SEC found these statements to be materially false and misleading, and the firm agreed to a cease-and-desist order, a censure, and a $175,000 civil penalty (per the SEC, 2024).
What is the firm's actual service or platform?
Global Predictions offers a platform called PortfolioPilot, which provides portfolio analytics and a macro risk-scoring feature it labels the Economic Weather Index. The platform aggregates user holdings and assigns forward-looking risk scores based on economic scenarios. Post-settlement, the firm's marketing language has been adjusted to reflect regulatory constraints on AI-related claims.
Does Global Predictions manage institutional separate accounts?
There is no public record of Global Predictions operating institutional separate accounts, commingled funds, or bespoke mandates for family offices or pensions. The firm is registered as an investment adviser but its commercially available offering is a B2C subscription-based software product.
Where is Global Predictions based?
Public filings list a San Francisco, California address for the firm. It operates primarily in the United States.
