What is CHAT?

CHAT launched in 2023 specifically to capture the generative AI wave sparked by ChatGPT. It holds the companies most directly exposed to large language models, AI content generation, and the infrastructure supporting them — Nvidia, Microsoft (OpenAI partner), Alphabet, Meta, and Palantir.

As the newest and most focused ETF in this list, CHAT is a higher-conviction bet on generative AI specifically. Its smaller AUM ($180M) means it can be more nimble in rebalancing toward emerging GenAI leaders.
