Our read on ALAI
BMost AI funds stop at the chipmakers. Alger's version splits the theme in two, the companies building AI and the ones putting it to work, under a long-term growth mandate priced below the typical AI thematic fund.
The Fund’s stated aim is long-term growth in capital.
Why people hold it
- Two buckets, not one: the enablers building the AI stack and the adopters deploying it, so the portfolio doesn't live or die on semiconductors alone.
- Charges 0.55% a year, below the median for AI thematic funds. That is a thin fee for a focused, hands-on theme.
- Rates in the upper tier of a crowded AI field of more than two dozen competing funds.
Worth knowing
- Cheaper shelf-mates work the same theme: XAIX at 0.35%, QTUM at 0.40%, WTAI at 0.45%.
- Launched in 2024, so the record covers one stretch of market weather, not a full cycle.
- Payouts arrive once or twice a year at most. The stated aim is long-term growth in capital, not income.
