AIQBGlobal X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF

XAIXAXtrackers Artificial Intelligence and Big Data ETF

In short

AIQ An AI fund with real mileage, trading since 2018. AIQ casts a wide net: about 80 names spanning AI developers, the companies putting AI to work, and the hardware makers feeding big-data crunching, in the US and developed markets abroad.

XAIX No data

Stated mandate

AIQ The fund targets companies expected to benefit from developing and using AI in products and services, along with businesses supplying hardware used for AI-driven big-data analysis.

XAIX No data

Why people hold it

  • AIQ Wide net by design: roughly 80 holdings covering AI builders, AI adopters, and the hardware behind big-data analysis, rather than a narrow chip bet.globalxetfs.com
  • Live since 2018, which is a long run by AI-fund standards, and now a multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively. Size and volume usually mean tight spreads for retail-sized orders.
  • Passport included: the index reaches past US listings into developed markets abroad, so AI and chip names trading overseas can make the basket.globalxetfs.com
  • A rules-based index tracker that lands in the upper tier of the general-AI shelf on how the portfolio is built and how solidly it is run.

XAIX No data

Worth knowing

  • AIQ The 0.68% expense ratio sits right at the AI-cohort median, and cheaper trackers exist: XAIX at 0.35%, QTUM at 0.40%, ARTY at 0.47%.
  • One theme, about 80 stocks, tech from top to bottom. When sentiment on AI turns, there is little else in the basket to soften the ride.globalxetfs.com
  • Foreign names often arrive as depositary receipts, which the prospectus flags for currency and overseas-market risks US-only funds skip.globalxetfs.com
