NEW YORK, Jan. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wedbush Securities and Wedbush Fund Advisers today rang the Opening Bell at the New York Stock Exchange in celebration of the success of its Dan IVES Wedbush AI Revolution ETF (Ticker: IVES).
Launched in June 2025, IVES was created to provide access to Wedbush’s long-standing leadership in technology research through a focused investment strategy. IVES offers exposure to 30 publicly traded companies positioned at the center of the AI revolution, spanning both foundational architecture and real-world deployment.
In October 2025, IVES surpassed $1 billion in assets under management (AUM), a milestone reflecting strong demand for differentiated, thematically precise AI exposure grounded in fundamental research.
The portfolio showcases where AI investment is actively converging today, with exposure across semiconductors, hyperscalers, cybersecurity, cloud, robotics, and consumer platforms shaping the next phase of tech transformation.
Wedbush remains committed to delivering bespoke, cutting-edge investment products. Ringing the Opening Bell serves as a symbolic moment for the fund and highlights Wedbush’s continued expansion across investment management and research-driven investment opportunities.

Important Information
Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
Carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Fund’s prospectus, available at www.wedbushfunds.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
AI Technology Risk. AI technology is generally highly reliant on the collection and analysis of large amounts of data, and it is not possible or practicable to incorporate all relevant data into the model that such AI utilizes to operate. Certain data in such models will inevitably contain a degree of inaccuracy and error – potentially materially so – and could otherwise be inadequate or flawed, which would be likely to degrade the effectiveness of the AI technology. Companies involved in, or exposed to, artificial intelligence-related businesses may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel.
These companies face intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence, and many depend significantly on retaining and growing the consumer base of their respective products and services. Many of these companies are also reliant on the end user demand of products and services in various industries that may in part utilize artificial intelligence. Further, many companies involved in, or exposed to, artificial intelligence related businesses may be substantially exposed to the market and business risks of other industries or sectors, and the Fund may be adversely affected by negative developments impacting those companies, industries or sectors.
Calculation Methodology Risk. The Index relies directly or indirectly on various sources of information to assess the criteria of issuers included in the Index, including information that may be based on assumptions and estimates. Neither the Fund nor the Adviser can offer assurances that the Index’s calculation methodology or sources of information will provide an accurate assessment of included issuers or a correct valuation of securities, nor can they guarantee the availability or timeliness of the production of the Index.
Concentration Risk. The Fund’s investments will be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Index is so concentrated. In such event, the value of the Shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares of a fund that invests in securities of companies in a broader range of industries.
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Narrowly focused thematic investments will be more susceptible to factors affecting that sector and subject to more volatility.
