Want Exposure to the Hottest AI Stocks? Buy This ETF Hand Over Fist.
There's no doubt that artificial intelligence (AI) has been the hottest topic in technology (and arguably any sector) over the past year and a half. AI isn't a new development, as many companies have used it for years. From online shopping recommendations to voice assistants to autonomous driving technology, AI has been around for a while.
However, AI was recently brought into the mainstream with the immense popularity of OpenAI's ChatGPT and other generative AI apps. Thanks to this popularity, many tech companies are going all in on AI, and investors are rushing to invest in them, hoping to capitalize on the momentum.
AI is a relatively broad field, and companies operate in different parts of the ecosystem. For investors looking to get exposure to top companies across the AI spectrum, the Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: ONEQ) can do the trick.
A lot of ground covered with a single investment
The Nasdaq Composite is one of the three major U.S. stock market indexes and tracks all the companies trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange. Many tech companies are listed on this exchange, so the Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF is tech-dominant, with the sector accounting for close to half of the fund (49.45%). The other four sectors rounding out the top five are communication services (14.70%), consumer cyclical (13.75%), healthcare (7.02%), and industrials (4.08%).
Although tech companies lead the charge, it's nice to have some diversification (although a small amount) to help hedge against sector-specific volatility and downturns.
Some of the top AI companies globally leading the way
The tech portion of the Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF includes some of the world's hottest and most important AI-related companies. Below is just a snapshot of some of the ETF's top holdings (all in the top 10) and how they're leveraging AI:
It's hard to argue against the ETF's historical results
There are plenty of important AI companies in the ETF, but the eight companies above account for over half of the fund, so as they go, so does the ETF. This has proven to be a good thing, too, as the Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF has far outperformed the S&P 500 over the past decade.
Past results don't guarantee future performance, of course, but when you have some of the world's top tech companies leading the way, you can be confident that the Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF is in a great position to capitalize on new technological innovations and sector trends. It's a great way to get exposure to the hottest AI stocks.
