Overview

The Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF (AIQ) is a thematic fund issued by Global X Funds that tracks within a category of 17 ETFs monitored by ETFValuer. With an asset base of $10.4 billion and a share price of $57.98, the fund demonstrates significant investor adoption relative to its peers. It holds an overall rank of #219 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories, receiving an ETFValuer grade of C with a score of 61.4 out of 100. The fund carries an expense ratio of 0.68%, which is a key cost factor for investors holding the position. Income generation is minimal, as evidenced by a dividend yield of just 0.07%. These metrics collectively describe a large-cap thematic vehicle that has attracted substantial capital despite a mid-tier overall ranking and a moderate quality grade.

Short-term performance shows recent weakness, with the fund declining 2.28% over one day and 1.23% over one week. This negative momentum extended into the one-month period, where returns fell by 8.53%. However, the trend reversed over longer horizons, posting gains of 8.35% over three months and 10.54% over six months. Year-to-date returns have reached 12.74%, indicating a recovery from the recent monthly dip. The one-year return stands at 29.62%, while the three-year return has surged to 96.48%. This pattern illustrates a divergence where short-term volatility contrasts sharply with strong multi-year growth.

The fund is classified with a High volatility label and exhibits a beta of 1.63, suggesting it moves significantly more than the broader market. A Sharpe ratio of 0.88 indicates the return generated per unit of risk taken is moderate relative to the volatility experienced. The maximum drawdown of -26.35% highlights the potential for substantial temporary losses during market downturns. This combination of high beta and deep drawdown implies the fund amplifies market movements in both directions. Investors face elevated risk exposure, particularly during periods of market stress, as the high beta and volatility label align with the significant drawdown figure.

AIQ Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 0.24% 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. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
