In this episode of ETF Spotlight, I speak with Paul Marino, Chief Revenue Officer of Themes ETFs, about the AI trade, the Anthropic IPO, and investing in MANGOS companies.
The bull market recently celebrated its fourth anniversary, but many investors are now wondering how much longer it can last. The AI trade came under pressure last week following hotter-than-expected inflation readings. So-called neocloud companies, particularly those with high levels of leverage, saw their stock prices plunge. Can the AI trade continue its rally?
Anthropic, one of the two companies playing a major role in the AI boom, held an investor meeting last week as it prepares to go public in what could be the biggest IPO ever. The company's revenue reportedly climbed 45% to $16.8 billion in the third quarter. What should investors know about the potential IPO?
The Leverage Shares MANGOS ETF (MGOL) provides exposure to six MANGOS companies: Meta META, Anthropic, NVIDIA NVDA, Alphabet GOOGL, OpenAI, and SpaceX SPCX. The ETF uses derivatives and potentially special-purpose vehicles to gain exposure to the group.
The Corgi MANGOS ETF (MN) also provides exposure to the MANGOS group. What risks should investors be aware of when gaining exposure to private companies through derivatives, particularly given the limited transparency?
AI is creating new cybersecurity risks while simultaneously expanding the long-term opportunity for cybersecurity companies. The Themes Cybersecurity ETF SPAM invests in some of the largest companies in digital security software. How is AI changing the cybersecurity landscape, and what does it mean for investors?
Uranium has been a major beneficiary of the massive AI data center buildout by tech giants. Data center construction has picked up this year, and these facilities require enormous amounts of power. Yet uranium and nuclear ETFs have struggled this year. Can ETFs like the Themes Uranium & Nuclear ETF URAN rebound anytime soon?
