Investors interested in artificial intelligence can consider thematic ETFs to gain diversified exposure without the risk of picking single stocks. The Xtrackers Artificial Intelligence and Big Data ETF (XAIX) uses a patent-based screening to identify companies actively developing AI, offering broad diversification at a low 0.35% fee. Meanwhile, the Roundhill Generative AI & Technology ETF (CHAT) provides an actively managed, concentrated portfolio focused on leading generative AI firms, charging a higher 0.75% fee but with potential for higher returns and volatility. Both ETFs provide disciplined approaches to AI investing, with XAIX suited for long-term core holdings and CHAT for higher conviction, active management.
