Polaron's Energy Portfolio on Autopilot, from a team of physicists

I'm Chris, one of the co-founders of Autopilot. Polaron describes itself as a small team of physicists building systems where computational finance meets large language models.

They run one Portfolio on Autopilot, covering the whole energy sector. Here's how it's built.

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) Who they are

Polaron is an independent Pilot. It creates and manages The Energy Portfolio.

Its description says that since 2023 the team has been building infrastructure for reading large volumes of news and running sentiment analysis with large language models, organized around a knowledge graph that maps how companies relate to each other and react to events.

2) What the Portfolio covers

The whole energy sector, across five segments: clean energy and electrification, nuclear energy and infrastructure, integrated energy majors, regulated utilities, and oilfield services.

So it holds both sides of the energy story, the old and the new, in one Portfolio.

3) How it's built

Polaron uses a news scraper that runs around the clock and a knowledge graph of the sector as part of its process. The models and the graph are tools. Polaron makes the decisions.

It rebalances every two weeks, with concentration limits on both individual companies and segments, to avoid leaning too hard on any one name or corner of the sector.

4) The risk, said plainly

I want to be honest with you. Energy is cyclical, and the five segments react to very different things: oil prices, interest rates, government policy, and electricity demand from data centers.

Spreading across segments helps, but it's still one sector. It's compared with the AI power Portfolios in Is there an app that invests in the power and energy behind AI for me?.

5) How following works

Pick the 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: The Energy Portfolio, from Polaron's team of physicists, covers five energy segments, from clean energy to oilfield services. Polaron uses round-the-clock news analysis and a knowledge graph as tools, rebalances every two weeks and caps concentration. It's still one cyclical sector.

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.

Autopilot does not use AI to construct Portfolios, advise clients, or select investments; model outputs are inputs to the Pilot's own process and are not predictions of future results. Energy-sector strategies are cyclical and sensitive to commodity prices, interest rates and policy. Listing is not an endorsement of a Pilot or strategy.
