Wedbush Fund Advisers Launches AI Revolution ETF
Solactive announced its inaugural collaboration with Wedbush Fund Advisers, LLC, resulting in the launch of the Dan IVES Wedbush AI Revolution ETF. The ETF tracks the Solactive Wedbush Artificial Intelligence Index, which is designed to capture the transformative potential of companies driving the global AI economy. This launch builds on the influential research and thematic vision of Dan Ives, whose expertise in the technology sector played a pivotal role in shaping the index’s design and focus. The artificial intelligence sector stands at a critical juncture, with generative AI and automation technologies fueling innovation across both enterprise and consumer markets. The growing adoption of AI—by both established technology leaders and emerging disruptors—presents a compelling thematic investment opportunity focused on long-term growth. The Solactive Wedbush Artificial Intelligence Index is constructed using the research of acclaimed tech analyst Dan Ives, and leverages ARTIS®, the Solactive’s proprietary natural language processing technology, to identify U.S.-listed companies that are significant enablers or adopters of AI. The index applies a modified market capitalization weighting approach, ensuring diversified and meaningful exposure to the full AI value chain—including cloud infrastructure, semiconductors, software, cybersecurity, and data analytics. The ETF was listed on 4th June on the New York Stock Exchange with the ticker symbol IVES.
