IAI currently has a strong 5.46 fund score, which is 3.43 points better than the average for financial services funds. IAI has shown durable relative strength as it has been on a market RS buy signal for just over nine years and has been in a holding in the iShares Tactical Model (ISHRTACTICAL) since August 2024.

After briefly falling to a sell signal in November, IAI rallied and returned to a buy signal last week when broke a quadruple top at $180, making a new all-time high for the fund.
