Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF

AIQ tracks a market-cap-weighted index of developed-market equities involved in artificial intelligence & big data.

Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF is a passively managed ETF that focuses on AI and big data companies. Top holdings include Meta Platforms, NVIDIA, Netflix, Amazon, and IBM, with strong performance and growth potential. The ETF is well diversified with 87 holdings, including foreign AI stocks, and has shown strong performance over the past year.

AIQ: Riding The AI Growth Wave

The fund owns over 80 stocks, and all positions are relatively small. Some investors may wince at its expense ratio.

Should Investors Buy the Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF Instead of Individual AI Stocks?

Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF focuses on companies that use AI in their products or services, rather than infrastructure buildout. Approximately 25% of the AUM is in the current AI infrastructure stocks such as Nvidia, Broadcom and Samsung. The ETF has a portfolio price target upside potential of 9%, with Chinese companies like Tencent and Alibaba standing out.

AIQ: Portfolio Mismatch Due To Stock Selection Methodology

Many artificial intelligence (AI) stocks have jumped higher recently, vastly outperforming the benchmark S&P 500 index. Picking winners and losers in a new industry like AI can be challenging for investors.

In Part I of my Top Picks For 2024, I explained why we saw such extreme valuation losses in most equity CEFs in 2023 and what that could-mean for 2024. In my opinion, liquidity was the over-riding factor for why so few stocks, think Magnificent 7, received the lion's share of buy-interest while most everything else suffered, including equity CEFs. But just because the Federal Reserve will continue its Quantitative Tapering doesn't mean that other Fed programs won't increase liquidity in other places.

The stock market has performed well this year, with gains concentrated in the last two months, particularly in AI-related stocks like Microsoft and Nvidia. The Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF is well-positioned to benefit from the continued optimism for AI in the coming year. Fund flows into AIQ suggest growing investor interest in AI-focused investments beyond the popular Magnificent 7 stocks.
