0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I want to get this out of the way right away.

0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:14.120
<v Speaker 1>You're in registration on an ETF. Come on top of

<v Speaker 1>of Barons. Why is your ETF going to be different

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:22.439
<v Speaker 1>than the four thousand others out there that don't wear

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:23.560
<v Speaker 1>pink coats?

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and it'll get launch yesterday.

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 3>And look to me, it's twenty five years covering tech, right,

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:35.199
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's it's all the research we do in

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 3>tech and all the investors around the world that have

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 3>followed us.

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 2>Now it's an ETF focused on AI.

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 1>What do you what do you envision a portfolio turnover

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>rate will be? Is this going to be buy and

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.040
<v Speaker 1>hold stodgy ETF or you're going to be in their

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:48.760
<v Speaker 1>day trading.

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 2>No, it's gonna be It's gonna be pretty long term, right.

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:54.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean we could have changes in terms of our

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:59.360
<v Speaker 3>ives AI thirty that meet this up, but look this

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 3>it's a living organism, right, and I think the AI

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 3>revolution we've talked about the reason we're doing it now

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 3>this is only Remember it's only ten pm in the

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.759
<v Speaker 3>AI party that goes to four am.

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:15.319
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Dan, Michael Purvis just in with us here on

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.840
<v Speaker 1>the Microsoft moonshot. You know, he's saying it's techs up

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 1>text down that I don't buy it. What I see

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:25.319
<v Speaker 1>here as a bet on future earnings persistency. Can the

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:30.679
<v Speaker 1>tech group sustain up thirty percent growth or do they

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>have that still whopping up sixteen percent growth? What's your

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 1>bundled growth rate for tech Forward?

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look, I think it's acceleration here.

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean to me, I think Street's under estimating tech

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 3>growth by three to five hundred BIPs for the rest

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 3>of the year. I mean, look, what's happening in terms

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 3>of the AI spending trend, and when it comes to

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 3>what's happened Redmond, that's right in their backyard. That's why

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 3>Microsoft is going to be the one that I think

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 3>that's a stop. Five hundred's next stop. And ultimately, you know,

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 3>five fifty six hundred does not out of the question.

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 4>JN.

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Paul up Tucker told me time, Oh, by Redman there exactly.

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I didn't do well.

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.640
<v Speaker 4>There you go exactly. Hey, Dan, Alex Steele and I

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 4>you know, we just spent two days with the folks

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 4>at Bank of New York at one of their offsite

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 4>conferences with their wealth management clients and the B and

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 4>Y people, to a person said, the most important thing

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 4>in their business is AI. Just help us step back

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 4>thirty thousand feet. Now that you've got this ETF, where

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:38.800
<v Speaker 4>are we in kind of the ETF deployment, adoption spending.

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 4>Give us a thirty thousand foot view.

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, look, I but I agree with what

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:45.079
<v Speaker 2>they're saying.

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think this is the biggest tech trend

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 3>that we've seen, not just in twenty five years for us,

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 3>but I think that we've seen the last forty fifty years.

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 3>And I think it Look, it's changing the investing climate, right,

0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 3>it's changing the appetite for risk and Paul, my view

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 3>is that both from the operations, from the use cases

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 3>perspective they're excluding across financial services, and the appetite for

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 3>investors globally when it comes to AI again, you want

0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 3>to be in the left lane of Ferrari in terms

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 3>of big tech going ninety five miles an hour not

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, a lot of these are sort of value

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:21.640
<v Speaker 3>thirty miles an hour.

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Right, Lan in a minivan to me, I just continue

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 2>right on tech.

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Dan, I the time we've got left the one lagger here.

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:32.079
<v Speaker 1>The chart is amazing, folks. Apple is so different from

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>the other mag seven's and there's this thing in this

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>thing Ives. I'm sure he'll be in the third row

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 1>at the conference coming up for Apple. I'm looking at

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the screen, Dan Ives, and I'm modeling ninety two one

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>eleven one o eight, ninety eight, one oh four, maybe

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 1>a modeled one hundred and twenty one billion of free

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>cash flow out in the next eighteen months. Did you

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>just see that financial performance coming right back over to

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 1>a stock lift or is it a product China issue?

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, first off, I think free cash is being underestimated

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 2>in terms of those numbers. And look, we'll be there

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:10.840
<v Speaker 2>on Monday.

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 3>It comes down to like they were late on AI,

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:20.039
<v Speaker 3>but the consumer AI revolutions coming through Apple, and I

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.920
<v Speaker 3>think what you will see laid out Monday is now

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.599
<v Speaker 3>sort of going to be the blueprint for how developers

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 3>are going to be building AI on top Apple. And

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 3>then my view is like this overhead and net we're

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 3>seeing here, this will be short lived as the growth

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.720
<v Speaker 3>comes back to this story, and I continue to think

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 3>it's just it's a China driven caught in this category

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 3>five Tariff.

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 4>Storm, DAN the Dan ives webbush AI Revolution ETF. Who

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 4>is the target audience for this? Do you guys think?

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 4>And and then second, just gud, what's the timing? When

0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 4>is this coming to market?

0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it came to market yesterday and obviously very exciting

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 3>first day. Look, it's institutional, but obviously it's retail allowed

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.040
<v Speaker 3>of investors from around the world. Right, I mean, wherever

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 3>I go, people say, how do you play AI? Now

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 3>you're given the vehicle to play my research that ultimately

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 3>builds this AI theme.

0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 2>That's what really I think what differentiates is, so, how.

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Has your day changed now that you're a portfolio manager

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 1>A wise one?

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 2>But Tom, it doesn't change because this is all built

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 2>in a research.

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.799
<v Speaker 3>If I add, if I'm upgrading, if I'm adding names,

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:35.359
<v Speaker 3>all of the research, the AI thirty the ETF is

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 3>the first TTF built on an analyst research. And I

0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 3>think that's one where investors around the world that follow

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 3>us and they navigate us for decades, this is now

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 3>the actual vehicle to play our research in a theme.

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Look at you with the waitings. I've got it on

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.600
<v Speaker 1>the Bloomberg terminal. Of course, folks, that's the way reroll.

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna do the math. We gotta go to bar.

0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 1>But come on, Dan, what are you old? Like eight

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:01.919
<v Speaker 1>eight holdings in your ATF.

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 3>It's the AI thirty, it's the the ives AI thirty,

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.599
<v Speaker 3>thirty names that make.

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Up what I've used the AI Revolution.

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:16.119
<v Speaker 3>And look it's like this is just it's the second, third,

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:17.360
<v Speaker 3>fourth derivatives.

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Right, That's why I listened to day Night's congratulations on that,

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:26.279
<v Speaker 1>really really major, major congratulations. May you survive the first

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:27.359
<v Speaker 1>ninety days
