One of the most common investor questions regarding the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is “How do I take advantage of it in my portfolio?” The good news for investors is diversified equity portfolios already have exposure, mainly because AI tools touch nearly every type of business these days.
Holdings of the five largest AI ETFs collectively span a sizable chunk of the market— 42.5% of US stock market capitalization and 32.7% of global market cap. And it’s not just a few big companies like NVIDIA or Apple—in the US alone,127 companies are included among these AI-focused strategies.
The pervasiveness of AI opportunities is evident when perusing the company names. The usual suspects from technology are well represented—all five hold NVIDIA—but less techy names like Caterpillar, Honeywell, and Thomson Reuters can be found within these ETFs. This exemplifies how AI is likely to touch virtually every business type, making it harder to predict the ultimate winners from the revolution. Broad diversification can help investors avoid missing out on these winners, wherever they show up.
