Our read on each fund

AIHYBDefiance AI Hyperscale Leaders ETF

AISDVistaShares Artificial Intelligence Supercycle ETF

In short

AIHY No data

AIS Most AI funds shop the same megacap aisle. AIS is an actively run global basket built around the whole AI buildout: high-performance chips, the data centers they fill, and the software on top. Roughly 70 names.

Stated mandate

AIHY No data

AIS The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by actively investing in global AI companies whose businesses include high-performance semiconductors, AI-related datacenters, and AI-enabled applications.

Why people hold it

AIHY No data

  • AIS Owns the full AI stack rather than one slice: high-performance semiconductors, AI data centers, and AI-enabled applications, sourced globally.vistashares.com
  • Actively managed, so the lineup can shift as the buildout moves from chips to power to software, without waiting on an index reconstitution calendar.vistashares.com
  • Roughly 70 holdings: concentrated enough to be a real theme bet, wide enough that no single chipmaker carries the whole thesis.
  • Young fund, but not a thin one. It trades actively and has gathered assets in the hundreds of millions since its December 2024 launch.

Worth knowing

AIHY No data

  • AIS At 0.75% a year it runs above the typical AI fund and well above index-based rivals like XAIX (0.35%) and ARTY (0.47%). Active stock picking is what the premium buys.
  • Launched in December 2024, so there is no full market cycle behind it and the risk record is still short.
  • The mandate is long-term capital appreciation, not income. It has not been making distributions.vistashares.com
