"WISE tracks the Solactive Generative Artificial Intelligence Index, launched in December 2023, holds 48 names, and charges 35 basis points. AUM sits near $31 million. Top weights include AMD ( NASDAQ:AMD), QuickLogic ( NASDAQ:QUIK), and Nvidia, with the top 10 making up 47% of the fund. The index aims for broad exposure across the AI value chain, defensible in 2024 when nobody knew which layer would capture economics. Two years in, the layer that captured the economics is hyperscaler infrastructure, and a quasi-equal-weight index punishes you for that clarity."
"It's no longer worth your time to heavily buy AI startups because it's obvious where things are heading. Not only are they bleeding cash, Wall Street isn't going to irrationally dump money into them just because "they do AI". The return gap WISE is down about 4% year-to-date and up about 14.6% over the trailing year. Nvidia over the same windows is up about 18% YTD and 62% over one year."
"The index blends mega-cap profit engines with money-losing startups, and the math of that blend is what an honest portfolio-fit conversation has to start with. What WISE actually owns WISE owns the right concept, companies whose revenue ties to generative AI, but the index blends mega-cap profit engines with money-losing startups, and the math of that blend is what an honest portfolio-fit conversation has to start with."
WISE tracks the Solactive Generative Artificial Intelligence Index, launched in December 2023, holding 48 names and charging 35 basis points with about $31 million in assets. Top holdings include AMD, QuickLogic, and Nvidia, with the top 10 representing 47% of the fund. The index targets broad AI value-chain exposure, but the economics have shifted toward hyperscaler infrastructure. A quasi-equal-weight approach reduces the benefit of that concentration by mixing mega-cap profit engines with money-losing startups. WISE has underperformed Nvidia, down about 4% year-to-date while Nvidia is up about 18% year-to-date, and WISE is up about 14.6% over one year versus Nvidia up about 62%.
