iShares Future AI & Tech ETF
Tracks a global portfolio of companies involved in generative AI, data infrastructure, AI software, and AI services.
Why This Week?
ARTY (formerly IRBO) captures the artificial intelligence mega-trend across the entire value chain. Rather than just holding the obvious mega-caps like NVIDIA or Microsoft, ARTY holds ~50 companies globally, offering exposure to smaller-cap innovators and international players in the AI space that are harder to pick individually.
