New York:KraneShares has announced that its KraneShares Public-Private AI & Technology ETF, known by its ticker AGIX, has benefited significantly from private investments, including the AI firm Anthropic. Anthropic is nearing its initial public offering (IPO), making the fund's performance particularly noteworthy.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, AGIX became the first exchange-traded fund (ETF) to invest directly in Anthropic back in February 2025 when the AI company was valued at $61.5 billion. This strategic investment has been a key factor in AGIX's impressive performance since its inception.

Between its launch on July 17, 2024, and October 31, 2026, AGIX has delivered a return of 70.13%, surpassing the Nasdaq-100 Index's 45.64% return over the same period. The fund's private exposure, including its stake in Anthropic, contributed 11.92 percentage points to its overall return, resulting in AGIX outperforming a well-known technology benchmark by 24.49 percentage points.
