Artificial intelligence could give retail investors access to insights that were previously limited to top hedge funds, according to eToro CEO Yoni Assia.

"AI knows the best investors in the world," Assia told Yahoo Finance, noting that it has processed books, memos, and information from leading investors. He added that this technology can put "in your hand a retail investor, power that was available only to the top, top quantitative, most sophisticated hedge funds."

In August, eToro launched a set of AI tools and APIs allowing users to build their own investing tools. The platform also introduced Tori, a chatbot that can analyze portfolios and answer user questions.

Users Can Simulate Buffett, Graham Strategies

Some users have developed applications reflecting the strategies or personas of famous investors like Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham. "I want their personas…to comment on my portfolio," Assia explained. "And then I want to rebalance my portfolio based on their insights."

Tori also allows users to track market developments and see how they affect their holdings. "You can ask what happened yesterday in the markets and how it impacts my portfolio," Assia said.

Assia, who started trading at 13, co-founded eToro in 2007 as a social investing platform. He emphasized that while trading requires time and effort, investing is something that everyone can learn. "Trading [is] like professional sports, you need to invest a lot of time and effort to become a good trader over time," he said.

Net Income Rises, Crypto Drives Revenue

Meanwhile, eToro reported modest third-quarter growth, with net income rising to $57 million and net contribution reaching $215 million. Revenue grew 28% year-over-year, driven mainly by cryptocurrency trading.

The platform added 100,000 funded accounts, bringing the total to 3.73 million, while assets under administration reached $20.8 billion. The board approved a $150 million share buyback, and the company is exploring prediction markets to expand user engagement. Adjusted EBITDA increased moderately, reflecting revenue growth and cost management.
