Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

IVESCDan Ives Wedbush AI Revolution ETF

XAIXAXtrackers Artificial Intelligence and Big Data ETF

In short

IVES Wedbush turned its own AI research call into a ticker. IVES tracks a house-built index of roughly 30 AI names, reaching past US megacaps into chip-supply-chain countries like Taiwan, the Netherlands and Israel.

XAIX No data

Stated mandate

IVES The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Solactive Wedbush Artificial Intelligence Index.

XAIX No data

Why people hold it

  • IVES Concentration is the point: roughly 30 stocks, not 300, so the names the index selects actually move the fund.
  • It doesn't stop at Silicon Valley. The mandate reaches into Taiwan, the Netherlands, Israel and China, where much of the physical AI supply chain sits.
  • Rules first, hunches second. It follows the Solactive Wedbush Artificial Intelligence Index, so the selection logic is written down before you own it.
  • Shares trade actively, which generally keeps the gap between the market price and the fund's underlying value tight for everyday orders.

XAIX No data

Worth knowing

  • IVES At 0.75% a year it sits above the typical AI index fund. XAIX charges 0.35% and ARTY 0.47% for their own takes on the theme.
  • Both the fund and its index launched in 2025, so there's no multi-year record of how closely it has tracked the benchmark.
  • Thirty-odd stocks in one theme cuts both ways: the focus that sharpens the AI bet also makes for a bumpier ride than a broad tech fund.
