FOTO: Why A Cheaper Optical Trade Still Doesn't Make This ETF A Buy

The Tuttle Capital Pure Play Photonics ETF is rated Hold due to portfolio construction shortcomings despite strong optical interconnect and AI themes. FOTO's AI exposure is diluted, with only ~50% in favored segments and ~31% in non-AI photonics, lagging peers like LAZR. Overweighting Lumentum (~21%) and underweighting higher-conviction names like Applied Optoelectronics and Sivers weakens FOTO's alpha potential.

I am comparing funds to play the AI Optics narrative. The EUV ETF remains my top pick for AI optics exposure, offering the best blend of scale, liquidity, and cost. LYTE delivers the purest optics exposure but carries significant China regulatory risk and high trading costs, making it unsuitable for new positions. FOTO offers high-beta small/mid-cap optics exposure but is diluted by non-AI end markets and commands the highest fee among peers.

AI ETFs: The Next Wave Emerges

The first phase of the artificial intelligence investment trade was relatively straightforward: if you wanted to capture the AI boom using familiar names, you bought semiconductors. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) became the default for this theme, with over $9 billion in net inflows over the past one year.
