Nicholas Giannotti's BullTradeFinder Portfolios on Autopilot
Nicholas Giannotti's BullTradeFinder Growth Portfolio and Long Term Common Names on Autopilot, and how to follow them.
I'm Chris, one of the co-founders of Autopilot. Nicholas Giannotti runs two Portfolios, and the descriptions are short.
Short descriptions aren't a problem on their own. They just mean you have to read them carefully, because every word is doing work. So let's read them.
One thing first, because we're an SEC-registered investment adviser and I have to say it. Autopilot is the app. The actual investment advice comes from Autopilot Advisers, LLC. If you want the full legal version of anything in here, it's on our disclaimer page.
1) The two Portfolios
Nicholas Giannotti is an independent Pilot who creates and manages both Portfolios.
The BullTradeFinder Growth Portfolio. The description says it focuses on companies Nicholas considers undervalued, with strong growth ahead and, in the description's words, great leadership and execution.
Long Term Common Names. The description says it focuses on pioneering companies, with an emphasis on stability and some dividend payers.
2) What the growth one is really asking
Read the growth description again. Undervalued, growing, and well run, all at once.
For those unaware, that combination has a name in investing: growth at a reasonable price. It's harder than it sounds. Fast-growing companies are usually expensive because everybody can see the growth. Finding one that's growing and still cheap means disagreeing with the market about something.
When it works, it's because the investor saw something the market missed. When it doesn't, the reason is usually that the market saw something the investor didn't. That's the bet you're following.
3) What the long-term one is for
Long Term Common Names reads like a core holding. Established companies that led their industries, a tilt toward steadier businesses, and some income along the way.
Together they can work as a pair: one aimed at growth, one steadier. Whether you want both depends on what else you already own.
4) What to check before you follow
Because the descriptions are short, the record carries more weight. Look at how each one behaved in a down stretch. Check how often each one changes. Look at how many positions each holds, which the app shows.
And ask whether the growth Portfolio's picks actually look undervalued to you. That's the claim, so test it.
Do not stop at the stocks. Read the Portfolio.
5) How following works
Pick a Portfolio, connect the brokerage you already use, and allocate money. You give Autopilot Advisers limited authority to send orders to the account you already have. When the Portfolio changes, we send them and your broker fills them. The money stays put.
A flat cash subscription, not a percentage of your balance. Per our Form CRS dated February 2026, Basic Tier has no Base Advisory and Licensing Fee, and Premium Tier is $29.99 to $199.99 a quarter or $99.99 to $699.99 a year. Pilot subscriptions are separate and add on for each Pilot you subscribe to. Because it's a flat dollar amount, it's a bigger share of a small account than a big one, so do the math at your balance.
TLDR: Nicholas Giannotti runs a growth Portfolio aimed at undervalued, well-run growers and a long-term Portfolio of established companies with some dividends. The descriptions are short, so lean on the record and test the claims yourself.

Autopilot does not hold client assets. All investments are held at the brokerage firm you select and connect to Autopilot. Your brokerage firm is responsible for trade execution, custody, and reporting. Autopilot is not responsible for your broker-dealer’s services, fees, or execution quality.
Autopilot’s services depend on technology systems, third-party APIs, and internet connectivity. System outages, API disruptions, or connectivity issues may temporarily affect service availability or trade execution timing.
Client account holdings are designed to track the Portfolio you’ve selected, but your actual holdings and performance may differ from the Portfolio due to execution timing, market conditions, brokerage capacity constraints, fractional share availability, and other factors outside Autopilot’s control.
For Portfolios inspired by publicly disclosed trading activity, there may be a delay between when a Pilot executes a trade and when that trade becomes publicly available and is incorporated into the Portfolio. This timing delay may affect the suitability or performance of trades when executed in client accounts.
Third-Party Pilot Portfolios are created and managed by independent third parties who are not affiliated with Autopilot, are not acting as your investment adviser, and owe you no fiduciary duty. Third-Party Pilots receive a share of the fees attributable to their Portfolios, which creates conflicts of interest for them and for Autopilot, and they may trade the same securities their Portfolios hold. Autopilot may convert a Third-Party Pilot Portfolio to an Autopilot Portfolio at any time.
