Wedbush senior analyst Dan Ives launched an exchange-traded fund (ETF) on Wednesday, aimed at making it easier for investors to gain exposure to his favorite AI stocks. 

The Dan Ives Wedbush AI Revolution ETF that went live under the ticker “IVES” this morning offers exposure to the analyst’s top 30 artificial intelligence picks. 

Among the fund’s notable AI holdings at the time of writing are Nvidia (NVDA) and Tesla (TSLA), while relatively smaller businesses like CyberArk (CYBR) and SoundHound (SOUN) are included in the ETF as well. 

Should You Invest in the IVES ETF?

Speaking with CNBC on Wednesday, Ives dubbed his newly launched ETF a “living organism” as it will be reconfigured quarterly or sooner under special circumstances. 

“As new companies come in, some companies could come out. It’s not static because the theme will continue to evolve,” he revealed in the said interview. 

The Dan Ives Wedbush AI Revolution fund could prove a lucrative investment in the back half of 2025 given that the investment firm believes the artificial intelligence revolution is still in its early innings. 

The fund reflects Dan Ives’ broader thesis that AI is expanding beyond chips into software, infrastructure, and consumer applications – creating multiple waves of opportunity.

Who Is the IVES Fund Suitable for in 2025?

Dan Ives’ newly launched exchange-traded fund offers investors targeted exposure to what he calls the “fourth industrial revolution” – the explosive growth of artificial intelligence across sectors. 

With AI adoption accelerating across industries and trillions in market value projected, this ETF gives investors a streamlined way to tap into the long-term upside. 

Backed by Ives’ track record and deep industry knowledge, the AI Revolution fund is a compelling choice for those seeking diversified, high-conviction exposure to the artificial intelligence mega trend. 

Investors should also note that a competing top ETF, the Global X Artificial Intelligence & Tech (AIQ) has outperformed the benchmark S&P 500 Index ($SPX) by significant margin since the start of 2025.  

At the time of writing, it’s up nearly 7% year-to-date versus about 1.8% only for the benchmark index. This also suggests the IVES fund could prove a rewarding investment moving forward.
