EMXETF has launched the China AI ETF (NASDAQ:AICH), an actively managed ETF targeting companies across China’s artificial intelligence ecosystem.

The fund is designed to cover the broader AI stack, including semiconductors, GPUs, memory, optical networking, AI models, robotics, applications and infrastructure. It comes as Chinese AI models such as DeepSeek, Z.ai and MiniMax draw greater global attention.

AICH is part of EMXETF’s targeted emerging-market AI ETF lineup and follows the launch of the China AI Tigers LLM ETF (NASDAQ:TGRZ), which focuses specifically on China’s AI model layer.

QUICK CONTEXT: China’s Expanding AI ETF Lineup

China’s AI ecosystem is increasingly being targeted through specialized ETFs, with products offering exposure to different parts of the technology stack. AICH takes a broad approach, seeking companies involved in everything from the chips and infrastructure powering AI systems to models, robotics and applications.

The launch also expands EMXETF’s emerging-market AI lineup. Its earlier China AI Tigers LLM ETF is focused on the large-language-model segment, while AICH seeks exposure across a wider range of companies involved in China’s AI development.

The distinction matters because it gives investors more ways to target specific AI themes rather than relying solely on broad China or technology ETFs. AICH’s actively managed structure gives its portfolio managers flexibility to select companies across multiple layers of the ecosystem.
