Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Peter, I enjoyed and learned a lot from your latest Financial Post article on AI.

The last question on HBDG was in May 2025. Its AUM is now $32,500,000. Is it big enough now, and is it a good ETF to safely play the AI theme?

Thanks as always for your insight.

Q: In October 2024 in reply to a question about an AI etf you replied:

The Canadian field is very limited and all funds are too small for our liking right now. We would recommend: BOTZ, AIQ, and IRBO which are USD funds. RBOT is a CAD-hedged option and CIAI is an unhedged CAD option; both however are too small for our liking.

Is that still the case that there is only RBOT as a cdn hedged option? Any other updtes to that question: I want to buy an AI ETF.
