AI ETFs
AI Stocks
The picks and shovels of AI. NVIDIA, AMD, TSMC, and Broadcom make the GPUs that power every AI workload. These companies profit regardless of which AI application wins.
SMH
Companies building products where AI is the core business: robotics, automation, enterprise AI software. More volatile but more targeted. When AI sentiment surges, these move the most.
BOTZ, AIQ, ROBT, IRBO
Not pure AI ETFs, but their top holdings (NVIDIA, Microsoft, Apple) are the biggest AI beneficiaries. Lower cost, more diversified. AI is a tailwind rather than the sole thesis.
VGT, QTEC, ARKQ
AI revenue exposure
Holdings must derive significant revenue from AI research, products, or infrastructure, not just companies that mention AI in press releases.
Value chain coverage
We span all three layers: semiconductors (SMH), pure-play AI applications (BOTZ, AIQ, ROBT, IRBO), and broad tech with AI tailwinds (VGT, QTEC, ARKQ).
Liquidity and size
Sufficient AUM and daily volume for LATAM investors to enter and exit positions without excessive spreads.
Cost range
Options across the cost spectrum, from VGT at 0.10% to niche thematic ETFs at 0.68%, so you can choose your cost/specificity tradeoff.
LATAM accessibility
Prioritized US-listed ETFs available through Mexican SIC, Brazilian international brokers, and other LATAM platforms.
