AIO: Buy The Discount, Capture The Broadening AI Infrastructure Theme

The Virtus Artificial Intelligence & Technology Opportunities Fund offers diversified exposure to the AI theme across multiple sectors beyond information technology. I recommend AIO with a Buy rating, citing a temporary market pullback, long-term AI infrastructure growth, and a current -8.17% discount to NAV. AIO's portfolio is positioned to benefit from shifting AI dynamics, including increased CPU and storage demand driven by agentic AI adoption.
