Although OpenAI is not available for public investment, the actively managed Alger AI Enablers & Adopters ETF (ALAI), seeks to invest in companies across the AI ecosystem, including businesses that may help enable and support leading artificial intelligence technologies. The fund’s top holdings have poured billions into OpenAI relationships through ownership stakes, infrastructure investments, and cloud services contracts.
Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA), and Broadcom Inc. (AVGO), together, represent 25.4% of ALAI’s portfolio, according to ETF Database. Each company announced major OpenAI partnerships in recent months that position them as the backbone for the AI company’s expansion.
Microsoft holds a 27% ownership stake in OpenAI Group, valued at approximately $135 billion. That makes it the largest single owner of the private AI company, according to an October blog post.
The tech giant maintains exclusive intellectual property rights and Azure API exclusivity until OpenAI achieves artificial general intelligence, a term for AI systems that can perform any intellectual task a human can do.
Beyond its equity stake, Microsoft secured a $250 billion cloud services contract with OpenAI, according to the company. Microsoft represents 9.7% of ALAI’s holdings.
Chipmakers Commit Billions in Infrastructure
NVIDIA, ALAI’s largest holding at 11.4%, announced a letter of intent to deploy 10 gigawatts of systems for OpenAI with plans to invest up to $100 billion as infrastructure rolls out, according to a press release.
Broadcom will develop 10 gigawatts of custom AI accelerators that OpenAI designed, with deployments starting in the second half of 2026, according to the company. Broadcom represents 4.28% of the fund’s holdings.
Active Strategy Pays Off With 33% Gain
ALAI posted a 40.3% one-year return in 2025. That is more than double the 17.9% ETF Database category average return, according to ETF Database data.
The fund attracted $265.4 million in net inflows since launching in April 2024, according to ETF Database. ALAI now manages $283.3 million in assets with a 0.55% expense ratio.

Market performance is determined using the official closing price on the New York Stock Exchange. Market performance does not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month end, please visit www.alger.com.

Risk Disclosures: Investing in the stock market involves risks, including the potential loss of principal. Growth stocks may be more volatile than other stocks as their prices tend to be higher in relation to their companies’ earnings and may be more sensitive to market, political, and economic developments. Companies involved in, or exposed to, AI-related businesses may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel as they face intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence, and many depend significantly on retaining and growing their consumer base. These companies may be substantially exposed to the market and business risks of other industries or sectors, and may be adversely affected by negative developments impacting those companies, industries or sectors, as well as by loss or impairment of intellectual property rights or misappropriation of their technology. Companies that utilize AI could face reputational harm, competitive harm, and legal liability, and/or an adverse effect on business operations as content, analyses, or recommendations that AI applications produce may be deficient, inaccurate, biased, misleading or incomplete, may lead to errors, and may be used in negligent or criminal ways. AI technology could face increasing regulatory scrutiny in the future, which may limit the development of this technology and impede the future growth. AI companies, especially smaller companies, tend to be more volatile than companies that do not rely heavily on technology. A significant portion of assets will be concentrated in securities in related industries, and may be similarly affected by adverse developments and price movements in such industries. A significant portion of assets may be invested in securities of companies in related sectors, and may be similarly affected by economic, political, or market events and conditions and may be more vulnerable to unfavorable sector developments. Investing in companies of small and medium capitalizations involves the risk that such issuers may have limited product lines or financial resources, lack management depth, or have limited liquidity. The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified fund” under federal securities laws because it can invest in fewer individual companies than a diversified fund. Private placements are offerings of a company’s securities not registered with the SEC and not offered to the public, for which limited information may be available. Such investments are generally considered to be illiquid. Foreign securities involve special risks including currency fluctuations, inefficient trading, political and economic instability, and increased volatility. ADRs and GDRs may be subject to international trade, currency, political, regulatory and diplomatic risks. Active trading may increase transaction costs, brokerage commissions, and taxes, which can lower the return on investment. At times, cash may be a larger position in the portfolio and may underperform relative to equity securities.
ETF shares are based on market price rather than net asset value (“NAV”), as a result, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). The Fund may also incur brokerage commissions, as well as the cost of the bid/ask spread, when purchasing or selling ETF shares. The Fund faces numerous market trading risks, including the potential lack of an active market for Fund shares, losses from trading in secondary markets, periods of high volatility and disruption in the creation and/or redemption process of the Fund. Any of these factors, among others, may lead to the Fund’s shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than NAV when you buy shares of the Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive less (or more) than NAV when you sell those shares in the secondary market. The Manager cannot predict whether shares will trade above (premium), below (discount) or at NAV. The Fund may effect its creations and redemptions for cash, rather than for in-kind securities. Therefore, it may be required to sell portfolio securities and subsequently recognize gains on such sales that the Fund might not have recognized if it were to distribute portfolio securities in-kind. As such, investments in Fund shares may be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that distributes portfolio securities entirely in-kind. Brokerage fees and taxes will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed shares in-kind. Certain shareholders, including other funds advised by the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager, may from time to time own a substantial amount of the shares of the Fund. Redemptions by large shareholders could have a significant negative impact on the Fund.
Alger pays compensation to VettaFi to sell various strategies to prospective investors.
