New ETFs carve out CPU and space data center investing at 0.65%

Investors can now target the physical infrastructure behind artificial intelligence directly: the KICK CPU Index ETF and the KICK Space Data Center and Infrastructure Index ETF both launched November 13, 2026 with a net expense ratio of 0.65%, giving a direct line to the processors and orbital data facilities that underpin AI workloads.

Separating CPU exposure from general semiconductor or tech indexes matters because the chip category most directly tied to AI training and inference has historically moved differently from the wider sector. A dedicated fund lets investors size that position without dragging in memory makers, networking equipment, or consumer electronics, though any thematic fund concentrates risk as well as opportunity.

The space data center angle in SDC is newer still. Ground-based data centers face land, power, and cooling constraints that have become genuine bottlenecks for AI expansion; space-based alternatives are an emerging answer to that problem. At 0.65%, investors are paying a modest premium over plain vanilla equity funds for access to what is still a nascent corner of the market.

The other two launches on the same date, State Street's SPDR Nasdaq MyPaycheck ETF and American Beacon's SiM High Income ETF, are multi-asset and fixed-income entries rather than AI infrastructure plays. Their simultaneous arrival reflects how much product development is running across asset classes right now.
