Total returns
100% reinvested · ex-date convention. Period returns use this fixed assumption, independent of chart settings. YTD and 1Y are cumulative period returns; 3Y, 5Y, and 10Y are annualized. The shared Since-start window is annualized only when it covers at least one year.
AIHY has lagged PWER over the year to date, posting a 1.66% total return against 20.31%. PWER has been the steadier holding, though — annualized volatility of 19.2% against 28.8% for AIHY. Figures are total returns: price change plus every distribution reinvested.
| Symbol | YTD cumulative | Since Jul 2026 | Volatility | Sharpe | Sortino | Max drawdown |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AIHY | 1.66% | 1.66% | 28.8% | 0.05 | 0.07 | -13.0% |
| PWER | 20.31% | 1.79% | 19.2% | 0.09 | 0.13 | -10.6% |
Total return with all distributions reinvested on the ex-dividend date (a modeling convention, not the cash-settlement date), split-adjusted, as of November 5, 2026. YTD and 1Y are cumulative period returns; 3Y, 5Y, and 10Y are annualized. The shared Since-start window is annualized only when it covers at least one year. “Since Jul 2026” measures every fund from July 21, 2026 — the start of shared available history — so all funds share one comparison window. Volatility is the annualized standard deviation of daily total returns over the shared window since Jul 2026. Sharpe and Sortino divide the annualized return in excess of the risk-free rate by, respectively, that volatility and the downside deviation (both over the shared window since Jul 2026) — higher is better. Max drawdown is the largest peak-to-trough total-return decline over the same window — shallower is better.

Bottom lineWe won't call this one: AIHY launched July 2026, so there is not yet a track record to compare. Compare the strategy, cost and holdings in the sections above and treat any performance figures for the newer ETF as provisional. What is already clear from the numbers above: the two do not cost the same — AIHY charges 0.37% against 0.79% for PWER, and on funds tracking the same thing that gap compounds every year you hold.

Frequently asked questions
Must every AIHY holding earn half its revenue from AI?
No. Its AI business-activity test can use revenues, assets, capital expenditures, or research and development spending. It also applies scalability, revenue-growth, and profitability criteria. Review current holdings and the prospectus rather than treating the theme as a pure-play revenue guarantee. Fund AUM also does not describe its holdings' market caps.
How should I compare risk and ownership costs?
Use matching dates and definitions for returns, distributions, and fees. Beta describes historical benchmark sensitivity, not guaranteed downside protection. Check current bid-ask spreads and premiums or discounts; AUM alone does not determine the price available for your order.
