Benzinga - by AJ Fabino, Benzinga Staff Writer. It’s the 15th week of our “Is ChatGPT A Better Financial Advisor?” six-month series, and the tensions are palpable.
It’s been quite a ride, with 15 weeks now under our belts. The question still looms: Is ChatGPT A Better Financial Advisor? For those just tuning in, we gave ChatGPT a hypothetical $10,000 to manage, putting it up against seasoned funds like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) and Invesco Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:QQQ).
| Fund/ETF | 15-Week Performance |
| SPDR S&P 500 | +7.01% |
| Invesco QQQ Trust | +12.02% |
| Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fund | +7.91% |
| Vanguard Growth Index Fund | +9.75% |
| Vanguard Value Index Fund | +4.32% |
| iShares MSCI EAFE ETF | -3.79% |
| Vanguard Total International Bond Index Fund | -1.39% |
| Fidelity Contrafund | +11.35% |
| T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund | +11.04% |
| Fidelity Total Market Index Fund | +7.93% |
| ChatGPT | 15-Week Performance |
| Benzinga’s ChatGPT Portfolio | +7.35% |
Locked in the same spot as last week, ChatGPT’s portfolio is in seventh place, slightly outpacing the SPY.
Spotlight: Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) is no longer our portfolio's best performing holding, as the stock began to pull back from local highs in mid-July. Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:ADBE) is now our top performer, up 50.65% since we opened the position.
As we’ve mentioned before, we are holding all positions for the six-month duration, and the journey is not about the micro-movements of stocks but the overall performance.

While we’re putting AI to the test against some of the big dogs, it’s important to remember: ChatGPT doesn't have real-time access to the market yet.
What we’re aiming for here isn’t to herald the era of robo-advisors, but to stir the pot and get investors thinking: How does AI fit into our financial future?
Join us next Wednesday as we roll into week 16 of the “Is ChatGPT A Better Financial Advisor?” series.
