Worried that AI is overpriced? Invest smartly into the entire supply chain

Everyone says AI is going to be transformative, turbocharging the economy. But there aren’t much analysis on “how”?Overall speaking, AI is a technology which helps all of us to “produce more, with less work”. For example, an AI-driven chatbot might be able to answer most of the questions from banking customers, freeing up employees to spend more time selling services or provide a better in-person experience to the bank’s clients.So how do you invest in AI?The ecosystem consists of 3 groups: companies that sell AI as a product or a service, companies that build AI models and develop the wider infrastructure, and companies that are building the hardware necessary for it all to work.Although AI has been a hot topic in the market for a while, but investment opportunities do not limit to the common household names. But if investors want to expand their reach to the full supply chain, it may cost them a lot of effort and time.Investors can consider investing through global asset managers. Relying on the expertise of investment professionals, investors may have exposure to the whole technology sector ecosystem, capturing opportunities while capturing the long term growth of the sectors.GoWealth_Focus_June(Kai)EN.jpgGoWealth_SingleFund(banner-desktop)EN_R.jpg^From 5 June to 4 August 2023, the Fund Platform Fee Monthly Rate applicable to the Featured Funds Services is 0%.
