Amundi has strengthened its range of thematic exchange-traded funds with the launch of two new products: the Amundi Global Memory Chips UCITS ETF and the Amundi Global Data Center UCITS ETF. The manager thus seeks to respond to investors' demand for more specific exposures linked to major technological trends, in a context of strong growth in the thematic ETF segment.
According to the information disseminated by the manager, these vehicles arrive at a time of special dynamism for this market, which has captured 17,000 million euros in 2025 and an equivalent figure only in the first half of 2026. This advance is supported by interest in long-term megatrends and an increasingly selective approach by investors.
Two themes linked to the advancement of AI
The new Amundi ETFs are designed to provide access to structural growth opportunities associated with technological transformation. The manager emphasizes that the rapid development of artificial intelligence and the increase in investment by large tech companies are driving demand for both infrastructure and essential components for the digital economy.
In this context, the Amundi Global Memory Chips UCITS ETF seeks to provide exposure to international companies, including companies from the United States and Korea, linked to the memory chip business. The fund is oriented towards a technology considered key to alleviating the data bottleneck in the field of artificial intelligence, in an environment marked by the growth of storage demand, the deployment of infrastructure for AI and the imbalance between supply and demand that supports memory prices.
Exposure to the global data center ecosystem
For its part, the Amundi Global Data Center UCITS ETF focuses on companies that participate in the entire value chain of data centers. This includes segments such as energy, cooling, networks and digital infrastructure, all essential elements to support the growth of data processing.
Amundi believes that this theme has solid tailwinds, supported by the continued increase in demand for computing power, storage and connectivity. With these two launches, the manager expands its catalog of thematic ETFs and anticipates new additions in the coming months, with the aim of responding to the growing interest of individual clients and digital wealth management channels for specific, innovative investment solutions linked to long-term trends.
Retail and institutional investors are increasingly turning to thematic ETFs as a way to express specific long-term investment convictions with greater precision. These two new strategies are designed to provide targeted exposure to market segments that could drive the next wave of innovation. They are the latest additions to our ambitious roadmap for our thematic ETF range, which we will continue to expand throughout the remainder of 2026.
