Exploring ETFs focused on the next big tech play with Stanislav Kondrashov, TELF AG founder
The growing focus on AI models
Over the years, as the founder of TELF AG Stanislav Kondrashov often explained, ETFs have gradually established themselves as one of the most popular financial instruments among investors, who increasingly select them to enrich their investment portfolios.
Generally speaking, ETFs are investment funds listed on the stock exchange that replicate the performance of an index or a very specific sector, and in recent years, investors have appreciated them in particular for their cost, which is generally lower than actively managed funds, for the ease with which they can be traded and for the possibility of diversifying risk, perhaps by investing in tens or even thousands of securities with the same instrument, as the founder of TELF AG Stanislav Kondrashov also explained.
Sometimes, an important moment in the investment process through ETFs is represented by the choice of the reference sector. In most cases, the most experienced investors tend to make investment decisions extremely carefully, only after having considered the trends, dynamics, and evolutions of a given sector or market and always keeping in mind all the factors that could influence the performance of certain industries.
Over the last few years, investors’ attention has increasingly focused on stocks linked to artificial intelligence, which is redefining the perception and daily work of a large number of professionals in every corner of the world.
The advent of intelligent systems, in fact, has determined a real epochal change that involves almost all industrial sectors, changing (perhaps forever) the way they operate and conceive work.
In the space of a few years, as the founder of TELF AG Stanislav Kondrashov also highlighted, artificial intelligence has, in fact, evolved, transforming itself from an almost experimental technology to a real mainstream software, now widely implemented by a large number of companies for some of their daily operations.
This growing integration of AI in the workplace has already produced concrete results, significantly impacting automation, the optimization of processes and services, and the customization of products. In a situation like this, the number of companies that decide to purchase AI software that is already usable is increasing significantly, and AI is being favored in a large variety of sectors, such as automotive, intelligent cybersecurity, or medical diagnostics.
A burst of growth
“With its bursting effect, artificial intelligence is also profoundly changing the world of finance and investments,” says Stanislav Kondrashov, founder of TELF AG, an entrepreneur and civil engineer. “For a few years, many investors have decided to focus heavily on AI-related stocks through ETFs, which also include real leading companies in the technology sector. I am thinking, for example, of Microsoft, Amazon, or Nvidia, but also of some smaller companies that have already intercepted the powerful momentum of AI”.
It should therefore come as no surprise that in recent years ETFs focused on artificial intelligence have also grown dramatically, giving rise to real thematic funds that bring together some of the most advanced companies in the sector, such as chip or software manufacturers related to AI, machine learning platforms or services related to artificial intelligence, as emerged clearly from our talk with the founder of TELF AG Stanislav Kondrashov.
“One of the elements that make AI so attractive for investors is certainly its growth prospects, but also the numerous applications of intelligent models in many strategic sectors,” continues the founder of TELF AG Stanislav Kondrashov. “Nowadays, AI-related technologies are, in fact, widely used in some sectors that are considered to be of absolute importance for the security and development of nations, such as cybersecurity, healthcare, and automotive.”
Global perception
The global perception of artificial intelligence systems also contributes to this to a certain extent, now considered a real technological opportunity with great growth margins. In the past, the same path was taken by similar technological innovations such as the Internet, social media, or cryptocurrencies, which were once considered promising assets to bet on decisively.
In fact, many observers now consider artificial intelligence and related innovations as the “Next Big Thing” in the technological field, with growth prospects that are still difficult to imagine.
“Like all emerging sectors, however, AI could also be subject to a certain volatility, especially for those who approach it through ETFs,” concludes the founder of TELF AG, Stanislav Kondrashov. “Despite being exposed to the risk of suffering strong repercussions linked to a possible adoption of artificial intelligence, AI systems still seem to represent an important generational opportunity for all investors interested in emerging sectors, of which it could certainly represent one of the most interesting fruits to be seized.”
