Overview

The Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF (AIQ) is a thematic fund issued by Global X Funds that currently holds an asset base of $10.4 billion. Trading at a price of $57.24, the fund carries an expense ratio of 0.68% and offers a dividend yield of 0.07%. In the broader landscape of 458 tracked ETFs, AIQ holds an overall rank of #250 and has received an ETFValuer grade of C with a score of 60.0 out of 100. Within its specific thematic category, which contains 17 ETFs tracked by the platform, the fund occupies a mid-tier position relative to its peers. The substantial asset under management suggests significant investor adoption despite the moderate overall ranking across all categories. This combination of high assets and a mid-range grade indicates a widely held vehicle that has yet to achieve top-tier performance ratings. The low dividend yield reflects the fund's focus on growth-oriented technology holdings rather than income generation.

Short-term performance for the ETF shows negative momentum, with declines of -1.82% over one day, -6.16% over one week, and -9.36% over the past month. This recent weakness contrasts sharply with the positive trajectory observed over longer horizons, where the fund posted a 3-month return of +3.36% and a 6-month gain of +9.17%. Year-to-date performance has accelerated further to +11.30%, while the one-year return stands at +28.05%. The long-term trend demonstrates significant strength, culminating in a three-year return of +100.82%. This pattern illustrates a clear divergence where recent short-term volatility has not prevented substantial multi-year appreciation. The data indicates a recovery and acceleration phase following the recent monthly pullback.

The fund is classified with a High volatility label and exhibits a beta of 1.63, indicating that its price movements are significantly more sensitive to market fluctuations than the broader benchmark. A Sharpe ratio of 0.82 suggests that the returns generated have been adequate relative to the level of risk taken, though not exceptional. The maximum drawdown of -26.35% highlights the potential for substantial temporary losses during market downturns. This combination of high beta and significant drawdown implies that the ETF tends to amplify both market gains and losses. Investors should expect pronounced swings in value, particularly during periods of market stress, while the positive Sharpe ratio indicates that the long-term return profile has historically compensated for this elevated risk.

Which Funds Overlap With AIQ

Holding two funds that own the same companies adds cost and complexity without adding much diversification. These tracked ETFs share the most names with AIQ's top 10 — WTAI overlaps most, holding 6 of the same companies as AIQ's top 10 (20.7% of AIQ's assets).

Compares the top 10 reported holdings of each fund, so it's a floor on true overlap — two S&P 500 trackers overlap ~100% even when only 10 names are listed. Use the Stock Overlap tool to search by individual company.

AIQ Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 0.49% and average daily volume is 2.5M/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $10.4B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: AIQ is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists.
