While AI investing initially centered on hyperscalers and chips, the opportunity has been broadening as infrastructure grows. Opportunities are moving further down and across the supply chain — into memory, data center power, components, and robotics.

Retail investors can gain pre-IPO exposure to private AI firm Anthropic through the Tema Photonics & Optical ETF. LAZR acquired its Anthropic position marked at an implied $1.39 trillion valuation; therefore, investors only capture upside if Anthropic IPOs above that baseline. Purchasing LAZR is primarily a trade on the optical and semiconductor AI infrastructure sectors.

The Tema Photonics & Optical ETF is rated Hold due to portfolio composition, despite a favorable thematic setup in optical interconnect and AI infrastructure. LAZR's largest holding, Lumentum, is weighed down by high valuations, while preferred picks like AAOI and COHR have minimal portfolio weight. The unique Anthropic (pre-IPO) position introduces both differentiation and significant risk, deviating from the core photonics theme and complicating risk management.
