Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

LRNZCTrueShares Technology, AI and Deep Learning ETF

XAIXAXtrackers Artificial Intelligence and Big Data ETF

In short

LRNZ The stock-picker's AI fund. TrueShares launched LRNZ in 2020 and runs a couple dozen high-conviction technology and deep-learning names instead of a broad index basket. Concentrated by design, active by mandate.

XAIX No data

Stated mandate

LRNZ The Fund is an actively managed ETF investing at least 80% of its net assets in common stock of technology, artificial intelligence, and deep learning companies. Its selection process emphasizes companies with substantial technology-related revenue, profit, or research-and-development exposure and competitive advantages in these fields.

XAIX No data

Why people hold it

  • LRNZ Actively managed and deliberately concentrated at roughly two dozen holdings, so each pick carries real weight rather than being diluted across hundreds of names.
  • Live since 2020, before AI became the loudest trade on the tape. That gives it a multi-year record across very different tech markets, not a post-hype launch.
  • At least 80% of net assets sit in technology, AI and deep-learning companies, screened for real tech revenue, profit or R&D exposure rather than an AI mention in the deck.
  • What is inside matches the label: the portfolio stays close to its stated AI and deep-learning mandate instead of drifting into generic megacap tech.

XAIX No data

Worth knowing

  • LRNZ The 0.68% fee lands at the category median, while big index-based rivals such as XAIX (0.35%) and QTUM (0.40%) charge less for a wider basket.
  • Concentration cuts both ways. With only a couple dozen positions, a single stumbling holding moves this fund far more than it would a broad AI index.
  • One of the smaller and more thinly traded funds in the AI group, so spreads and order execution matter more here than with the category heavyweights.

How we measure overlap

Each holding counts at its smaller weight in the two funds, summed over the full Holdings. Sector, country and asset class use the same rule on each fund’s split. Cash, FX and derivative lines stay out of the counts. Two bond funds get no overlap figure.
