Strong Start for Global AI & Automation Strategy
On May 13, the Global AI & Automation Strategy was launched with a clear mission: to take advantage of the most important technological developments of the coming years. Artificial intelligence, automation, robotics and the infrastructure that enables these developments are at the core of this strategy.
Initial results are promising. A return of 6.84%has been achieved since inception . Although only a short period, it shows that the chosen positioning fits well with current market conditions. In particular, companies and ETFs benefiting from the growing demand for AI solutions, data centers, chips and automation have performed strongly in recent weeks.
The portfolio currently consists of a selection of ETFs focused on AI, robotics and automation. This does not target a single company, but rather the broader technology trend that is increasingly impacting economies and businesses worldwide.
Remarkably, not all of the capital has been deployed yet. Of the available capital, about €3,845is currently invested , while about €1,155 in cash is still available . This reserve provides flexibility to respond to new opportunities or temporary corrections in the market. Especially in fast-growing sectors such as AI and technology, an available cash position can be of great value.
The strategy does not focus on quick trades or short-term speculation. The goal is to build a portfolio that can benefit from structural trends that are expected to continue for many years to come. Central to this is the rise of artificial intelligence. More and more companies are investing billions in AI applications, automation and digital infrastructure. In my opinion, this development is still at a relatively early stage.
The Global AI & Automation Strategy offers investors the opportunity to follow this trend through a carefully constructed portfolio. The focus is not on predicting daily price movements, but on identifying sectors and companies that can benefit from long-term technological changes.
The strong start obviously does not guarantee future results. However, it does give confidence that the chosen approach is in line with the direction in which the market is currently developing. With a combination of existing positions and available cash, the portfolio remains well positioned for new opportunities that may arise in the coming months.
If you are looking for a strategy that capitalizes on the growth of AI, robotics and automation, I invite you to pursue this strategy.
Kind regards,
Ruud Hoefnagels
