First Trust Nasdaq Artificial Intelligence and Robotics ETF

ROBT

Market cap $625M

Though it's far from a new approach, many exchange-traded funds (ETFs) aiming to provide exposure to the much-hyped artificial intelligence (AI) space tend to lean fairly heavily on a small number of big names. NVIDIA Corp. NASDAQ: NVDA, for example, is the single largest holding of the popular Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF NASDAQ: BOTZ fund, representing nearly 12% of the entire portfolio.

I recommend buying ROBT for conservative investors seeking AI growth, as its portfolio, with only 20.5% in the top 10, emphasizes keeping capital intact. ROBT's spread exposure to technology and industrials is optimally positioned to benefit from the $4.8 Tn expansion of the AI industry by 2033, powered by corporate take-up and M&A. With holdings in the form of Upstart Holdings and Meta Platforms, ROBT anchors small-cap ingenuity with large-cap security, shielding against market correction against AIQ's 70% weighting to technology.

ASML Holding's Chief Executive Officer said that lower cost means more AI applications, and more applications mean more chips. DeepSeek's rise could be a good news for the chip industry.

The Nasdaq is down well over 3% as of this writing, with AI hardware names driving the declines. The main AI infrastructure stock, Nvidia, is down roughly 20% over the last two trading days, which equates to a drop of nearly $700 billion in market cap.

After a brief lull, the fervor for artificial intelligence (AI) investments is back with a bang on Wall Street.

Artificial intelligence could define this decade. These seven AI ETFs provide investors with well-rounded exposure as this technology comes into its own.

With so many innovations available in the market, it's increasingly difficult for investors to pick out viable ideas. That's where exchange-traded funds come into play.

One of the best ways to gain maximum exposure to the unstoppable artificial intelligence boom is with an exchange-traded fund (ETF). Not only do they expose your portfolio to dozens of top AI names, but also these AI ETFs do so for far less cost.
