What is AIQ?

AIQ tracks companies developing or using AI to improve efficiency and productivity. Unlike BOTZ which focuses on robotics, AIQ casts a wider net — it includes AI software platforms, cloud infrastructure, semiconductor makers, and companies adopting AI to transform existing industries.

With 85 holdings and a global mandate, AIQ offers more diversification than most pure-play AI ETFs while maintaining a genuine AI focus. Top holdings include Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, and Baidu — covering both US and Chinese AI leaders.

Top 5 Holdings

Holding	Weight
NVIDIA Corp	6.8%
Microsoft Corp	5.9%
Alphabet Inc	5.4%
Meta Platforms	4.8%
Baidu Inc	4.1%

Key Risks

China exposure (Baidu, Alibaba) adds regulatory and geopolitical risk
Broader mandate may dilute upside vs concentrated AI ETFs in a bull run
