Warren Buffett famously remarked that, “A truly great business must have an enduring moat that protects excellent returns on invested capital.” In ETF form, perhaps the best-known example to invest in those businesses is the VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (MOAT), observes Tony Dong, lead ETF analyst at ETF Central.
Thematic and niche ETFs can help investors express a lot of things, including a bullish or bearish thesis on weather patterns. One of the more interesting themes recently gaining traction is the possibility of a so-called “Super El Niño,” and a potential beneficiary could be the Breakwave Dry Bulk Shipping ETF (BDRY), writes Tony Dong, lead ETF analyst at ETF Central.
AI investors aren't just targeting large language model developers, hyperscalers, or semiconductor manufacturers anymore. We've moved into individual links within the AI value chain itself. But what about the unloved parts of the market? One ETF worth examining is the iShares FinTech Active ETF (BPAY), writes Tony Dong, lead ETF analyst at ETF Central.
Thematic ETFs targeting the AI buildout have become increasingly concentrated, with optics and photonics exposure being the latest hot trend. One of the more successful launches from Corgi Funds so far has been the Corgi Lithography and Semiconductor Photonics ETF (EUV), writes Tony Dong, lead ETF analyst at ETF Central.
