What is an AI ETF?
Artificial Intelligence ETFs hold stocks in many different companies involved in various aspects of the AI ​​industry. By investing in a basket of stocks, ETFs are usually less risky than holding only a small number of individual stocks.
Stocks held by AI ETFS may include the world’s largest tech companies, including Microsoft, Alphabet and Nvidia. While some of these stocks have been working surprisingly well in recent years, the performance of AI ETFs depends on the underlying stock they hold and the amount the fund has been allocated to top performers.
