AI ETFs 2026: Why Vanguard VGT, Roundhill CHAT and Value-Chain Funds Are Pulling Investors Beyond Nvidia
Investors seeking to stay in the artificial intelligence trade are showing a clearer preference: broad exchange-traded funds versus more targeted plays in chip, memory, and networking stocks that power the sector. By Monday morning, Vanguard Information Technology ETF was down close to 1.0%. Shares of Roundhill Generative AI & Technology ETF slid about 1.1%, while Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF dropped 0.8%. This shift is catching attention right now: money is moving back into U.S. equities, but tech isn’t seeing the same love. In the week to March 25, U.S. equity funds raked in $37.24 billion. Tech sector funds, on the other hand, lost $1.45 billion. Nvidia’s forward price-to-earnings ratio? It’s dropped to its lowest since early 2019, with investors weighing just how quickly the big cloud players can convert massive AI outlays into real returns.
