LOS ANGELES – On June 4, 2025, Wedbush Fund Advisers LLC announced the introduction of the Dan IVES Wedbush AI Revolution ETF (Ticker: IVES). This new ETF offers investors a transparent and cost-effective way to gain exposure to 30 key companies at the forefront of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution.

The IVES ETF is based on the proprietary research framework of Dan Ives, the Managing Director and Global Head of Technology Research at Wedbush Securities. The ETF is designed to target companies that are driving the infrastructure and deployment of AI across several critical sectors including semiconductors, hyperscalers, cybersecurity, consumer platforms, robotics, and cloud infrastructure. These sectors form the backbone of a multi-trillion-dollar investment cycle that is accelerating the adoption of AI in both enterprise and consumer markets.

Among the key features of the IVES ETF is its research-driven selection process. The ETF's constituents are chosen directly from Dan Ives' extensive analysis over multiple years, which identifies public companies central to the AI spending cycle. The ETF provides cross-sector exposure, covering the entire spectrum of industries that fuel the AI economy, from infrastructure to implementation. Additionally, its balanced construction is strategically weighted to mitigate concentration risk while maintaining high-conviction thematic exposure. Importantly, the ETF is future-focused, targeting companies with both current momentum and long-term potential to lead in AI adoption.

Cullen Rogers, Chief Investment Officer of Wedbush Fund Advisers, expressed excitement about bringing Dan Ives' research to life through the ETF, noting it meets investors' demand for direct and meaningful exposure to the companies driving the next major economic transformation—artificial intelligence.

Earlier this year, Wedbush entered the growing ETF market through its new Investment Management division, marking a significant step in its commitment to providing innovative investment solutions. This move is aimed at catering to the Global Family Office, Wealth Management, and RIA clients.

Gary Wedbush, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wedbush Securities, highlighted AI as the most transformational force in the global economy of our lifetime. He emphasized Dan Ives' consistent track record in identifying tech disruptors and stated that the IVES ETF offers investors a disciplined and transparent way to benefit from that insight.

Founded in 2024, Wedbush Fund Advisers builds on the 70-year legacy of Wedbush, offering market insight, innovation, and client trust. The company's mission is to create forward-thinking investment strategies that align with evolving markets and investor priorities. With a seasoned team possessing decades of asset management experience, Wedbush Fund Advisers is dedicated to expanding the company’s tradition of excellence into the new era of investment innovation.
