Investing in semiconductors may be the most efficient way to play the artificial intelligence boom, according to VanEck's CEO. "Semiconductors have become the heart of the AI trade," Jan van Eck told CNBC's "ETF Edge" this week. His firm's VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) , which tracks 25 of the biggest chipmakers in the country, is up 21% this year as of Wednesday's close. However, SMH has fallen nearly 6% this month, led to the downside by Intel , AMD and On Semiconductor . Still, Akins advises investors to pay attention to semiconductor fund flows as a barometer for future performance.

ETF Action's Mike Akins sees challenges tied to the country's ability to generate stock market returns. Fool me twice, shame on me," the firm's founding partner told CNBC's ETF Edge this week. The stock market went nowhere. According to Atkins, emerging market ex-China products are among the largest inflows ETF Action is seeing. Or is it really a growth story in the economy alone and not in the actual return of the stock market?"

Investors may want to reduce international exposure right now and stick with the home court. "One of the highest predicting factors for [the] future performance of international stocks versus U.S stocks is what the U.S dollar does," Arthur told CNBC's "ETF Edge" this week. "From 2011 to 2022, the dollar was in a straight bull market, so you were gonna lose in international equities no matter what you did." That's a perfect setup where we're going to be cutting rates before the rest of the world. That's where the catalysts will have to be to see value come back, to see international come back [and] to see emerging come back."

"When you have an up-16% first half of the year, these types of strategies are going to underperform." Arthur explained call writing strategies do typically benefit from a down or flat market but struggle to perform in a rebounding environment. The built-in income-generating options strategies of the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI) helped fuel the fund's popularity in 2022. It remains the largest actively managed ETF on the market with nearly $28 billion in assets, but the rebound in growth this year has left the product lagging the broader market. "So, you're not going to keep up with the market with these types of strategies."

Think active, dividend, foreign debt and alternative income ETFs," Tom Lydon, of VettaFi, the conference sponsor, told me. "I believe fixed income ETFs are setup to have a historic year," Nate Geraci from the ETF Store said in January. This year, they're back, but despite the surge in thematic ETF performance to start the year, investors have yet to throw significant sums of money into the game. "Despite the surge in thematic ETF performance to start the year, investors are yet to start allocating again.
