In partnership with

Welcome back to AI in Investment Research & Finance, your weekly window into fast-moving markets through the lens of smarter prompts.

Table of Contents

We’ve previously discussed AI prompting topics, ranging from value investing to macro trends and exchange-traded fund (ETF) strategies, spotlighting funds like MOAT, SPLV, JEPI, GLD, BITO, EDOG, AIQ, and QGRW. We’ve also shown how fund marketers and analysts can craft data-driven content using large language models (LLMs).

In May, we also compared gold and Bitcoin as safe-haven assets amid rising market volatility. As we approach the third quarter (Q3) of 2025, oil has re-emerged as a key market driver. Brent crude initially surged nearly 20% in June, fuelled by escalating tensions in the Middle East and renewed risks around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global oil flows.

While prices have since eased, the heightened uncertainty has prompted investors to reassess commodity exposure and hedging strategies. To make those decisions effective, it is important to understand what the volatility reflects. Well-structured AI prompts can support deeper analysis and lead to more informed outcomes.

This week’s edition helps you do just that, with AI prompts to explore:
• Gold’s role as a hedge in today’s climate
• Oil’s twin function as signal and stressor
• Bitcoin’s evolving identity in risk-on/risk-off cycles

Sample AI Prompts for Q3 Macro Discovery

If you’ve been following us along since earlier this year, these themes will feel familiar, but shifting headlines and rising volatility make them worth revisiting. These updated prompts offer fresh angles on gold, oil, and Bitcoin to help guide your Q3 thinking.

📌 Prompt 1: Revisiting Gold’s Hedge Value in a Hotter Geopolitical Climate

Then: In our May edition, we examined how GLD tracks gold’s role as a safe-haven asset amid inflation and currency volatility.

Now:

“Act as a portfolio strategist. Evaluate gold’s role during periods of geopolitical conflict and policy uncertainty. Focus on correlations with equities, oil and the U.S. dollar in 2024–2025. Does gold still behave as a reliable hedge today, or are investor responses evolving globally? Use ETF-level data (e.g., GLD, IAU) and cite recent central bank demand trends.”

📌 Prompt 2: Oil as a Market Signal, from Energy Prices to Inflation Risk

New focus: With oil now reentering headlines, this prompt extends your analysis toolkit to energy-linked macro drivers.

“You are preparing a macroeconomic investment outlook for Q3 2025. Assess how oil price movements, driven by geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, and central bank expectations, are likely to impact inflation, equity market performance and sector leadership. Based on your analysis, recommend specific portfolio adjustments retail investors with an investing horizon of five year or more should consider, including sector overweights/underweights, hedging strategies and energy-related ETF exposure.”

📌 Prompt 3: Bitcoin’s Risk Identity in a Volatile World

Then: In May, we explored how Bitcoin ETFs like BITO and IBIT diverged in structure and tracking.

Now:

“Act as a digital asset analyst. Compare Bitcoin’s behavior during the recent geopolitical spike to that of traditional havens. Assess whether Bitcoin’s correlation to risk-on assets has changed in 2025. Include commentary on U.S. ETF inflows/outflows, regulatory developments and implications for retail portfolio diversification.”

Outsmart college costs

Ready for next semester? June is a key time to assess how you’ll cover college costs. And considering federal aid often isn’t enough, you might have to consider private student loans.

You’re just in time, though—most schools recommend applying about two months before tuition is due. By now, colleges start sending final cost-of-attendance letters, revealing how much you’ll need to bridge the gap.

Understanding your options now can help ensure you’re prepared and avoid last-minute stress. View Money’s best student loans list to find lenders with low rates and easy online application.

ETF Spotlight: VistaShares Target 15 Berkshire Select Income ETF (OMAH)

Current Price: $19.16
52-week range: $17.02 to $20.87
Expense ratio: 0.95% per year

Assets under management: $262 million

With gold, oil, and Bitcoin each signaling different forms of volatility, investors seeking steadier monthly income may look to more structured equity strategies. The VistaShares Target 15™ Berkshire Select Income ETF (OMAH) offers one such alternative.

OMAH is an actively managed ETF launched in March 2025. Its strategy blends two components:

  • A portfolio of U.S. large-cap equities aligned with Berkshire Hathaway’s top holdings

  • A covered-call options overlay designed to generate consistent monthly income

The fund currently holds 73 U.S.-listed stocks, closely tracking the 20 largest positions in Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio,including Apple (10.5%), BRK.B (9.8%), and Coca-Cola. Financials make up over half the portfolio, followed by consumer staples, tech, and energy. Its target distribution rate is 15% annually, and its most recent monthly payout (as of June 2025) was approximately $0.24/share, largely classified as return of capital.

While the options overlay may cap upside in bull markets, OMAH may appeal to investors who prefer steady distributions over price appreciation, especially in times of geopolitical and macroeconomic stress.

AI Prompt for Further Exploration:

“Act as a multi-asset strategist. Assess how an income-oriented ETF like OMAH compares to potentially volatile assets such as gold (GLD), oil (XLE) and Bitcoin ETFs (BITO/IBIT) during periods of geopolitical stress. What trade-offs exist between yield generation and price performance? Which investor profiles are potentially best aligned with each asset’s risk-return characteristics in Q3 2025?”
