Want to Invest in AI Stocks in 2026? Here's Why This Popular Tech ETF Might Not Be a Good Choice
Looking back over the past couple of years, it's safe to say that no topic has been discussed as much in the investing and business world as artificial intelligence (AI). Although AI has been around for a while, the popularity of tools like ChatGPT has pushed the technology into the mainstream.
Unsurprisingly, many people want to invest in AI stocks to take advantage of the growth opportunities, as a recent Motley Fool study confirms. And although there are dozens of great companies to choose from, I generally recommend investing in a tech exchange-traded fund (ETF) to do so.
One of the more popular tech ETFs on the market is the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSEMKT: VGT), and given its recent performance, it's easy to see why. In the past decade, VGT is up over 657%, compared to the S&P 500's 328% (as of Jan. 9). Despite that, VGT might not be the best option for those looking to capitalize on AI advancements, and I'll show you why.
