Thematic ETF issuers use AI and the ETF wrapper to target portfolios

The ETF Trends article points to recent discussion at the Nasdaq VettaFi Asset Allocation Summit about how AI fits into issuers’ day-to-day research and ETF strategy.

The ETF Trends article says the ETF ecosystem continues to expand with new strategies and growing investor demand, supported by the ETF wrapper’s flexibility.

It highlights a recent Nasdaq VettaFi Asset Allocation Summit focused on how thematic ETF providers are addressing the “AI moment” through ETF innovation, with participation from executives at Direxion, VanEck, and Roundhill Investments.

According to ETF Trends, the panelists discussed both the role of AI in their workflows and the way the ETF structure can deliver targeted, transparent, and tax-efficient portfolio solutions.

ETF Trends also notes that VanEck’s thematic ETF product manager described using AI as part of daily research to assess the competitive landscape, while the other panelists discussed how AI helps analyze large volumes of information asset managers must evaluate.
