Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF

When it comes to getting electric vehicles (EV) exposure, the most recognized name within domestic borders is certainly Tesla. However, BYD Company is a name that more investors should be familiar with, and one of the top ETFs with exposure to BYD is the Amplify Lithium & Battery Technology ETF (BATT).

By 2030, global trends will be dominated by AI, electrification, renewable energy, and demographic shifts (retired baby boomers), shaping investment opportunities and risks. Equity markets, especially US and AI-related stocks, are currently overvalued; investors should prepare a shopping list for quality ETFs and stocks to buy after downturns. Top ETFs span global, US, Asia, India, renewables, EVs, aging demographics, lithium, gold, and silver, balancing growth and defensive themes.

Artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and machine learning are just a few of the obvious tech innovations dominating the majority of investor attention spans these days. Along with the companies focused on these technologies, attention also diverts to those integral to meeting hardware demands, like semiconductor firms.

The global electric vehicle market remains highly competitive, with China as the dominant region and the U.S. seeing a temporary Q3 boost from expiring tax credits. BYD Company Limited leads in global EV sales but saw a rare year-over-year decline in Q3, mainly due to intense competition in China, though exports are surging. Xiaomi is emerging as a standout, rapidly scaling EV sales and maintaining strong momentum despite being a newcomer and not an EV pure-play.
