Artificial intelligence has remained one of the most resilient sectors in U.S. equities, with companies like Nvidia and Microsoft benefiting from rising adoption even as other sectors faced volatility. 

With trade war and inflation concerns beginning to ease, analysts suggest AI growth could strengthen further, making direct exposure an appealing option for investors. ETFs provide one way to access this theme, but careful due diligence is essential in selecting strategies with the best long-term potential. 

The Alger AI Enablers & Adopters ETF (ALAI) differentiates itself by using bottom-up research and active management to uncover overlooked AI innovators. Its proprietary framework emphasizes companies showing high unit volume growth or positive lifecycle changes, positioning the fund to potentially outperform passive AI ETFs. 

Finsum: Investor interest is already growing—FactSet data shows ALAI attracted $40 million in net flows in July 2025, signaling strong confidence in its approach.
