Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

ARTYAiShares Future AI & Tech ETF

EPAIDHarbor AI Inflection Strategy ETF

In short

ARTY Launched in 2018 as a robotics fund, ARTY switched benchmarks in 2024 and came back as a focused global AI portfolio: about 50 companies across chips, data centers, software and services, at a below-median theme fee.

EPAI No data

Stated mandate

ARTY The fund seeks to track a global index of companies contributing to artificial-intelligence technologies across software, infrastructure, and services.

EPAI No data

Why people hold it

  • ARTY 0.47% a year against a 0.68% median for AI-theme funds. The thematic markup is smaller here than on most of the shelf, though XAIX and QTUM undercut it.
  • Global by design. The index pulls from US and non-US companies contributing to AI across generative AI, data and infrastructure, software and services.ishares.com
  • A multi-billion-dollar, actively traded iShares fund, so getting in and out doesn't hinge on thin volume.
  • Stacks up as one of the stronger builds in a crowded AI cohort on cost, structure and staying power.

EPAI No data

Worth knowing

  • ARTY The record before August 2024 belongs to a different strategy: as IRBO it tracked a robotics and AI index, then moved to the Morningstar Global AI Select Index.ishares.com
  • About 50 names in one theme. The AI trade sets the tone here, and that concentration works in both directions.
  • Distributions land once or twice a year and are incidental. This is a growth-theme equity fund, not an income holding.
