- AI Powered International Equity ETF (AIIQ) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that employs artificial intelligence-based quantitative models to select and invest in equity securities of companies located in developed markets outside the United States; the portfolio targets growth and value stocks across diversified market capitalizations and sectors, utilizing proprietary fundamental and quantitative analysis powered by AI technologies including machine learning, sentiment analysis, and natural language processing on vast datasets such as news, social media, financial statements, and macroeconomic indicators; individual stock weights are capped at 10% with a volatility screen to align portfolio risk with broader developed ex-U.S. markets. EquBot, Inc., the fund's investment adviser and index provider, leverages IBM Watson platform capabilities for security selection and portfolio construction. AIIQ benchmarks its performance against the FTSE Developed ex US All Cap Net Tax Index while seeking capital appreciation. The fund was launched on June 5, 2018, and trades on NYSE Arca with an expense ratio of 0.79%; it was previously distributed by ETF Managers Group (ETFMG), though current distribution arrangements may reflect subsequent changes in ETF sponsorship structures. EquBot, headquartered in San Francisco, California, at 450 Townsend Street, was founded around 2016 by Chida Khatua (CEO), Art Amador (COO), and Chris Natividad (CIO), emerging from UC Berkeley entrepreneurship collaborations focused on AI-driven investment solutions. The firm initially served as adviser for both AIIQ and its U.S. counterpart, AI Powered Equity ETF (AIEQ), with AIEQ transitioning to a passive index-tracking structure in January 2024 under EquBot's AI Powered Equity Index. No major partnerships, acquisitions, funding rounds, new product launches, or strategic shifts specific to AIIQ have been reported in the last 1-2 years as of December 2025; the ETF continues to operate as an actively managed vehicle amid a broader surge in AI-themed and thematic ETFs, though it maintains relatively low assets under management around $5 million and low trading volume, potentially indicating limited recent institutional developments. Geographic operations encompass developed markets ex-U.S., including Europe, Japan, Australia, and other regions via equity holdings without geographic concentration mandates beyond exclusion of U.S. securities.
