Wedbush is betting that there is still an investment-friendly economy beyond artificial intelligence.

HALO stocks are gaining favor as investors rotate toward tangible assets and AI-resistant businesses. Here are ETFs to play the trend.

Wall Street is caught in the midst of shifting geopolitical stances of the United States and Iran, chances of higher global inflation, weak U.S. jobs data, the possibility of stagflation in the U.S. economy, and the Fed's likely dilemma in fixing the monetary policy amid a weakening labor market and accelerating inflation. Also, the occasional selloffs in the red-hot artificial intelligence (AI) space have been a steady concern.

I focus on HALO investing: Heavy Assets, Low Obsolescence - owning irreplaceable physical assets with durable moats against technological disruption. Top recommendations include American Tower, Brookfield Infrastructure, Prologis, Rexford Industrial, Lineage, Americold, VICI Properties, and Lamar Advertising. AMT, COLD, and VICI currently offer attractive entry points based on discounted multiples, robust dividend yields, and resilient, monopoly-like asset bases.

Josh Brown, co-founder and CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management, coined the term HALO as a way to identify companies immune to AI disruption. Many HALO stocks are outperforming this year, such as FedEx, ExxonMobil, and Coca-Cola, as enterprise software names like Adobe, ServiceNow, and Salesforce test 52-week lows.
