Defiance AI Hyperscale Leaders ETF is a thematic equity fund providing exposure to the leading AI "hyperscalers" — the companies building and operating the compute backbone of artificial intelligence, spanning AI compute infrastructure, cloud platforms, data centers, semiconductors, and AI software. Marketed as the first ETF dedicated to AI hyperscalers, it screens for businesses that derive at least 50% of revenues, assets, or spending from AI and that are scaling profitably, with revenue growing faster than expenses and positive gross margins, and carries a 0.76% expense ratio. Launched in July 2026, this fund is a growth-oriented vehicle aimed at investors seeking capital appreciation from AI infrastructure rather than current dividend income.

How Dividend Vision calculates yield and returns

Distribution rate (the posted rate) is the latest regular payout annualized by the fund's stated frequency, divided by the last close. Issuers often publish this as “Distribution Rate” on the fact sheet. Trailing-12-month yield is the sum of distributions paid in the last 12 months, split-adjusted, divided by the last close. It lags a recent raise or cut. The 30-day SEC yield (-0.23%) is the SEC standardized figure when we have it. An issuer may publish a different SEC or TTM yield using another as-of date or share-class convention. Total return uses split-adjusted close with distributions reinvested on the ex-dividend date (a modeling convention, not the cash-settlement date) from the first stored bar on or after inception through the latest bar, compared with the same window on the benchmark. That is the security's total return, not your personal gain/loss. Figures below use Dividend Vision data as of September 4, 2026.

AIHY risks and drawbacks

Payments are quarterly, so cash flow is lumpy versus a monthly fund.

Who may consider AIHY — and who may not

It is a weaker fit for investors who need monthly cash flow (AIHY pays quarterly); investors hunting double-digit covered-call yields. This is educational context, not a recommendation to buy or sell.
