Wall Street is banking heavily on exchange-traded funds that give investors artificial intelligence exposure, according to J.P. Morgan Asset Management.<\/p>\n

The firm’s “Guide to ETFs,” which came out this month, finds it’s a top five theme by assets under management \u2014 even as volatility hit the group in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

“Many [themes] are morphing towards AI and the ecosystem surrounding AI,” Jon Maier, the firm’s chief ETF strategist, told CNBC’s “ETF Edge” this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Maier, who led the insights team that published the report, also highlighted an overlapping relationship between AI-themed ETFs and infrastructure.<\/p>\n

“It’s all kind of feeding into the AI story \u2026 the applications, the energy [and] the AI models,” he said.<\/p>\n

Go with the flow? ETFs vs. mutual funds<\/strong><\/h3>\n

JPMorgan’s Guide to ETFs also found that mutual fund overall inflows are meaningfully tapering off while more money is flowing into ETFs.<\/p>\n

“That’s only going to continue,” said Maier, who added the report’s data showed negative inflows into mutual funds overall during the past several years.<\/p>\n

He also suggests that ETFs have become more attractive to retail investors because of the tax benefits.<\/p>\n

“They typically don’t pay a capital gain [tax],” he said.<\/p>\n

Maier contends mutual funds are a different story.<\/p>\n

“Imagine if you bought a mutual fund in 2022 and you’re down 20%, 30%, 40%, depending on what part of the market you bought, and you still got a capital gain of 6%. You’re not happy,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
