“In 25 years covering tech, I’ve never seen a bigger theme than the AI revolution,” Ives instructed FOX Enterprise. “And we’ve tried to capture in our research the 30 companies in tech that best encompass this fourth industrial revolution theme across semi-software, infrastructure and autonomous. And that is really the inception. The AI revolution ETF.”

“Tariffs are in the background, and they continue to create some uncertainty, but that doesn’t change our view that this is a fourth industrial revolution,” he added. “Two-trillion dollars is going to be spent over the next three years. Now, I believe we’re still in the bottom of the first inning in terms of this non-inning game for AI. And the second, third derivative beneficiaries of tech are just starting to focus on AI.”

The ETF will commerce beneath the aptly-named ticker, IVES, and will likely be up in opposition to some bigger gamers with AI funds, together with iShares, Constancy and First Belief, as tracked by VettaFi. Nevertheless, the agency believes it should have an edge with Ives and a fund that has “active insight and passive structure.”

“I think, when you compare us to the other ones that are kind of tracking these arbitrary, whatever it may be, revenue hurdles or qualifiers based on some third-party having AI in their earnings report, whatever it may be, we’re getting it from the source,” mentioned Cullen Rogers, Wedbush Fund Advisers’ chief funding officer. “I think a lot of them are following trends. We’re trying to define them through Dan’s mouthpiece.”
