The case for the Roundhill Generative AI and Technology ETF<\/p>\n
The Roundhill ETF invests exclusively in companies developing the infrastructure, platforms, and software behind the AI revolution<\/a>. The fund is actively managed, meaning Roundhill’s team regularly adjusts its portfolio to produce the best returns.<\/p>\n The ETF currently holds just 49 stocks, and its top five positions alone account for 26.7% of the value of its entire portfolio. Although such a high degree of concentration can lead to volatility, those five stocks are among the leaders in the AI race:<\/p>\n Stock<\/p>\n Roundhill ETF Portfolio Weighting<\/p>\n 1. Alphabet<\/p>\n 7.53%<\/p>\n 2. Nvidia<\/p>\n 6.11%<\/p>\n 3. Microsoft<\/p>\n 5.13%<\/p>\n 4. Meta Platforms<\/p>\n 4.28%<\/p>\n 5. Palantir Technologies<\/p>\n 3.67%<\/p>\n Data source: Roundhill. Portfolio weightings are accurate as of Dec. 21, 2025, and are subject to change.<\/p>\n Those five stocks have delivered an average return of 56% in 2025, so they helped propel the Roundhill ETF to a year-to-date gain of 47%. For some perspective, the S&P 500<\/a> is up just 17%:<\/p>\n PLTR<\/a> data by YCharts.<\/a><\/p>\n Alphabet is coming off two straight quarters of accelerating revenue growth in its Google Search business, almost entirely thanks to new AI-powered features<\/a> like AI Overviews. Revenue growth in its Google Cloud segment is also accelerating, as the platform works to fill a staggering $155 billion order backlog from customers waiting for more of its AI data centers to come on line. <\/p>\n Many of those data centers are powered by Nvidia’s chips, which are the gold standard for developing AI models. But Alphabet isn’t the only company lining up to buy them — Microsoft and Meta Platforms are also two of the chipmaker’s top customers. Meta uses them to advance its open-source Llama AI models; Microsoft uses them to deploy its Copilot AI assistant, and it also sells computing capacity to businesses through its Azure cloud<\/a> platform.<\/p>\n Tidal Trust II – Roundhill Generative Ai & Technology ETF<\/p>\n Today’s Change<\/p>\n (1.20%) $0.72<\/p>\n Current Price<\/p>\n $60.67<\/p>\n Key Data Points<\/p>\n Day’s Range<\/p>\n $60.40 – $60.95<\/p>\n 52wk Range<\/p>\n $28.96 – $68.12<\/p>\n Volume<\/p>\n 578<\/p>\n Actively managed funds typically come with high costs. The Roundhill ETF has an expense ratio<\/a> of 0.75%, whereas many of the passive index funds issued by Vanguard, for example, offer expense ratios as low as 0.03%. Fortunately, investors have been well compensated for those costs so far thanks to the Roundhill ETF’s blistering returns since its inception in 2023.<\/p>\n The case for the iShares Future AI and Tech ETF<\/p>\n The iShares ETF invests in AI companies from the U.S. and around the world. It gives investors exposure to the entire AI value chain, including infrastructure, software, and services. The ETF holds 51 stocks, and below are its top five positions, which represent 23% of the value of its portfolio:<\/p>\n Stock<\/p>\n iShares ETF Portfolio Weighting<\/p>\n 1. Advanced Micro Devices<\/p>\n 5.48%<\/p>\n 2. Vertiv Holdings<\/p>\n 5.25%<\/p>\n 3. Nvidia<\/p>\n 4.28%<\/p>\n 4. Advantest Corp<\/p>\n 4.06%<\/p>\n 5. Broadcom<\/p>\n 3.96%<\/p>\n Data source: iShares. Portfolio weightings are accurate as of Dec. 18, 2025, and are subject to change.<\/p>\n Despite having a similar focus to the Roundhill ETF, the composition of the top five holdings in the iShares ETF is quite different. It places a heavier emphasis on suppliers of data center infrastructure and chips, which have been central to the AI boom over the last few years.<\/p>\n Advanced Micro Devices is one of Nvidia’s biggest competitors in the market for AI data center chips. The company is preparing to launch a new lineup of graphics processing units (GPUs<\/a>) in 2026 called the MI400 series, which could lead the industry in terms of performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n Broadcom is another major player in this space. It supplies an alternative to GPUs called AI accelerators, which are popular among hyperscale customers because they are fully customizable. Broadcom is also a top supplier of networking equipment, which helps regulate how fast data travels among chips and devices in AI workloads.<\/p>\n![\"PLTR](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/3acbfc98430cb59560ea8b7b3fbd3980.png\"\/)
