What is ARTY?

The iShares Future AI & Tech ETF (ARTY) is BlackRock's dedicated AI play, tracking the Morningstar Global Artificial Intelligence Select Index — one of the most rigorous AI-focused benchmarks available. The index selects 69 global companies across the full AI value chain: generative AI platforms, AI data infrastructure, AI software, and AI services.

What sets ARTY apart is its institutional pedigree (BlackRock) combined with genuinely global scope. The fund holds not just U.S. AI giants but also Asian semiconductor leaders — TSMC, SK Hynix, Marvell, and Advantest — that power the hardware layer of the AI buildout. With $2B+ AUM and a low 0.47% expense ratio for a thematic ETF, ARTY offers the credibility of an iShares product with pure-play AI focus.

The index was updated in August 2024 to the Morningstar Global AI Select Index, sharpening its focus on genuine AI enablers. The fund's top holding as of Q1 2026 is CoreWeave (CRWV) — a bold signal of where the AI infrastructure story is heading.

Key Risks

International exposure (TSMC, NAVER, SK Hynix) adds currency and geopolitical risk
69 holdings with global scope may dilute upside vs concentrated US-only AI plays in a bull run
Index rebalance history (2024 update) introduces tracking uncertainty vs older benchmarks
Dividend yield is near zero — pure growth play, no income component
Top-10 concentration at 44% — CoreWeave (5%) adds single-stock AI infrastructure risk
