iShares Exponential Technologies ETF

XT tracks an equal-weighted index that provides exposure to firms from developed and emerging markets, which create or use exponential technologies as defined by Morningstar.

iShares Exponential Technologies ETF focuses on companies driving technological innovation across various sectors, offering diversified exposure to high-growth potential industries. The ETF's investment thesis is centered on capturing the growth of exponential technologies, including AI, robotics, and biotechnology, which are expected to transform industries. The fund looks appealing due to its diversified portfolio, evidential capacity to out-perform (albeit not since January 2021), and alignment with long-term technological trends.

Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF

For all its anticipated potential, the AI space is still nascent, and investors looking to capitalize on the hype may need to get creative. Some of the leading AI firms, like OpenAI, are not yet publicly traded, while the industry overall is shifting at such a rapid pace that bets on many individual companies may carry higher risk levels than some investors are comfortable with.

The iShares Exponential Technologies ETF is a great way for conservative investors to add higher-octane equity exposure to their portfolios. XT has exhibited relatively low downside risk compared to other risk-seeking investments and offers diversification with over 200 holdings. The ETF focuses on technology stocks, which have shown significant growth potential over the past five years.

XT: Still One Of My Top Ways To Take Equity Risk Going Forward

iShares Exponential Technologies ETF is a hold due to multiple risk factors outweighing its returns along with a relatively high expense ratio. XT lacks holdings with strong fundamentals and diversified revenue streams compared to peer tech funds, particularly Vanguard's VGT. XT also includes foreign tech holdings in emerging markets, representing geopolitical risks.

XT Will Likely Continue Lagging The Broader IT Sector

iShares Exponential Technologies ETF is a go-to holding due to market volatility and potential for high returns. I prefer XT to the ARK Innovation ETF, given its smoother path due to a more diversified and passive/indexed approach. XT's lower volatility and diversified portfolio make it a buy, with potential for a price increase to its 2022 high and beyond.

XT has a fair bit of AI exposure, through semiconductor and software companies, that has been driving its returns ahead of a typically weighted US index. We think that longer-term, the AI hype is overdone and generative AI won't make quite the dislocating impact that some expect. Still, everyone is going to chase it, because all businesses need to pay the premium for the AI business option.

XT and ARKK both seek to profit from investing in innovative companies. But they take different approaches to do that. ARKK is wildly popular and controversial. Cathie Wood, its founder, is a media star, thanks to ARKK's dramatic performance in 2020. But ARKK is down about 75% since then.

Exponential technologies replace outdated technologies, penetrate untapped markets, and provide the latest technological advancements.

XT offers targeted exposure to the leading technology themes that are transforming the global economy, with a nicely diversified portfolio of 195 U.S. and international stocks in the current version.
