American investors now have a new means of accessing China’s rapidly evolving artificial intelligence environment, without needing to use a VPN or a Chinese tutor. Themes ETFs launched the Themes China Generative AI ETF (BATS:DRGN) on Wednesday, the first U.S.-listed ETF exclusively investing in Chinese firms driving the generative AI revolution. The fund opened for trading on July 15, launching with an expense ratio of 0.39%, among the lowest in the AI ETF universe.
Forget the typical U.S.-focused spin on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) or Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). DRGN cracks open a door to a high-growth but frequently undercovered segment of the AI universe: China’s homegrown talent.
