In Q2 2026, artificial intelligence (AI) and related sectors like semiconductors and South Korean technology companies dominated investment themes, fueled by significant spending on AI infrastructure. The Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM) was a standout performer, gaining 161.5% due to its focus on memory producers benefiting from AI demand and its early market entry providing access to key non-U.S. chipmakers.
