Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

AIHYBDefiance AI Hyperscale Leaders ETF

THNQBROBO Global Artificial Intelligence ETF

In short

AIHY No data

THNQ The AI ETF that skips the mega-cap shortcut: roughly 60 global names across the AI value chain, sorted by ROBO Global's own 11-subsector classification rather than a keyword screen.

Stated mandate

AIHY No data

THNQ The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the ROBO Global Artificial Intelligence Index.

Why people hold it

AIHY No data

  • THNQ Built around the global AI value chain instead of a few giants: about 60 holdings spanning large, mid and small caps, designed for minimal overlap with broad market indexes.vettafi.com
  • Eligibility leans on revenue, not buzzwords. The index tracks companies drawing a significant share of revenue from AI, then classifies them through ROBO Global's proprietary subsector map.sec.govvettafi.com
  • An early pure-play AI fund (2020 launch) that lands in the upper half of its AI peer group, with portfolio construction among its stronger traits.

Worth knowing

AIHY No data

  • THNQ Costs 0.68% net of a waiver through August 31, 2027 (0.75% gross). That is near the category median, but above cheaper AI index rivals like XAIX at 0.35% and ARTY at 0.47%.
  • Trades lighter than the category's biggest funds, so spreads and limit orders matter more at the point of entry and exit.
  • Multi-cap by design means real small- and mid-cap weight, which moves differently from mega-cap AI exposure. Distributions come once or twice a year, not monthly.vettafi.com
