The Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF, the largest AI fund in the world, is up 23% so far in 2023.
This has included $135 million of inflows so far in 2023, including $80 million in March, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
That's led the world's largest AI fund, the Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (BOTZ), to a stronger start in 2023 than even the red-hot Nasdaq 100.
Further, lesser-weighted fund members like C3.ai and South Korea-based Rainbow Robotics have seen their stocks soar more than 200% this year.
Among 325 professional investors, 56% plan to add AI- and robotics-themed exposure to their portfolios this year, the survey found.
