Launched on July 17, 2024, by KraneShares, a specialist ETF provider founded in 2013 and headquartered at 280 Park Avenue, 32nd Floor, New York, New York, AGIX targets institutional and individual investors seeking preparation for artificial general intelligence through multi-segment AI opportunities across public and private markets.
In a landmark development in March 2025, AGIX became one of the first U.S.-listed ETFs to directly acquire shares in a private company, purchasing stakes in Anthropic PBC representing approximately 3.9-4.6% of net assets at the time, enhancing access to high-growth AI innovators; subsequent holdings reflect ongoing private market integration, including xAI Holdings Corp at 2.31%.
