DRAM Gets A New Rival: Tuttle's HBMX ETF Takes A Broader Approach To The AI Memory Trade

Chandrima Sanyal — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 15:58:28 +0000

The explosive success of the Roundhill Memory ETF (NYSE:DRAM) has turned memory semiconductors into one of the hottest themes in the ETF industry this year.

Riding that momentum, Tuttle Capital Management on Tuesday launched the Tuttle Capital Concentrated Memory Stack ETF (CBOE: HBMX), an actively managed fund targeting companies across the memory semiconductor ecosystem. The fund debuts as investors increasingly look beyond AI chipmakers and toward the memory technologies that have become critical to training and deploying next-generation artificial intelligence models.

The launch reflects a growing belief that memory, not compute power, is emerging as the key bottleneck in AI infrastructure. As demand surges for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), DRAM, advanced packaging, and semiconductor testing technologies, memory-related stocks like Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:MU) have become major beneficiaries of AI-driven capital spending.

Tuttle Capital CEO Matthew Tuttle argues that investors need more targeted exposure to these areas, positioning HBMX as a concentrated play on companies helping solve one of AI’s most pressing infrastructure challenges.

Tuttle Capital Launches Photonics ETF To Target AI Infrastructure's Next Big Bottleneck

Chandrima Sanyal — Fri, 29 May 2026 19:58:50 +0000

Tuttle Capital Management has launched an actively managed ETF designed to give investors focused exposure to the fast-growing photonics industry.

The Tuttle Capital Pure Play Photonics ETF (BATS:FOTO) began trading on Friday as demand for AI infrastructure continues to shift toward high-speed optical networking technologies.

Key Features Of FOTO

The fund targets exposure across five major photonics industry layers:

Lasers

Optical transceivers

Silicon photonics

Specialty wafers such as indium phosphide

Foundries and capital equipment

Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of net assets will be invested in companies directly tied to photonics.

Eligible companies generally must derive at least 50% of revenue or operating profits from photonics-related products or services.

The strategy may also include early-stage, pre-revenue, or newly public photonics-focused firms expected to meet those thresholds over time.

According to TrendForce data from December 2025, Nvidia's capacity lock-ins with top EML laser suppliers have pushed optical transceiver lead times beyond 2027, contributing to a global supply shortage.

NVIDIA has integrated co-packaged optics into its Blackwell GPU platform for chip-to-chip interconnects.

Alphabet disclosed that its Jupiter data center network has deployed more than one million optical transceiver ports.
