6 terms

etf financial

"Exchange Traded Concepts (ETC), a leader in white-labeled and innovative ETF solutions"

An ETF, or exchange-traded fund, is like a basket of different investments such as stocks or bonds that you can buy or sell easily on the stock market, just like a regular share. It allows people to invest in many companies at once, making it a simple way to grow savings without picking individual stocks.

index etf financial

"ROBO Global Robotics & Automation Index ETF (NYSE: ROBO) invests in the global companies"

An index ETF is a fund you can buy and sell like a stock that holds a mix of securities designed to match the performance of a specific market index (a list that tracks how a set of stocks or bonds is doing). It matters to investors because it offers built-in diversification and typically lower costs than actively managed funds, making it an easy way to mirror broad market returns without picking individual securities.

large language models technical

"Ameca's ability to converse fluently using Large Language Models represents the AI"

Large language models are advanced AI systems trained on vast amounts of text to understand and generate human-like writing, like a very fast reader and writer that learns patterns in words and sentences. They matter to investors because they can change how companies operate—automating customer service, speeding analysis, cutting costs, creating new products—and they introduce risks around accuracy, security and regulation that can affect a firm’s revenue and reputation.

nuclear power technical

"invests in global companies across the nuclear power industry that enable clean"

Nuclear power is electricity generated by releasing energy from the nuclei of atoms inside a controlled facility, where that heat is used to produce steam that turns turbines—like a very compact, high-temperature boiler driven by atomic reactions. Investors watch nuclear power because it can provide large amounts of steady, low-carbon electricity over many decades, but projects require huge upfront spending, long construction times and strict regulation, which affect returns and risk.

artificial intelligence technical

"The ROBO Global Artificial Intelligence ETF (NYSE: THNQ) seeks to capture this theme"

Artificial intelligence is the ability of computers and machines to perform tasks that typically require human thinking, such as understanding language, recognizing patterns, or making decisions. For investors, it matters because AI can enhance efficiency, uncover new insights, and enable smarter strategies, potentially impacting the value and performance of companies that develop or utilize this technology.

q&a technical

"Ameca will be available for pictures and interactive Q&A sessions, demonstrating"

Q&A is a live or recorded session in which company leaders or spokespeople answer questions from investors, analysts, or journalists following presentations, earnings calls, or announcements. It matters to investors because the answers reveal management’s priorities, clarify numbers or plans, expose risks or opportunities, and often change market perceptions—similar to asking follow-up questions to judge how confident and consistent someone really is.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - February 19, 2026) - Exchange Traded Concepts (ETC), a leader in white-labeled and innovative ETF solutions, today announced it will bring the "Physical Embodiment of the Next Economy" to Exchange 2026 in Las Vegas, as they will be hosting Ameca, the world's most advanced humanoid robot.

"If you've been to a conference the past few years, you've likely had a robot pour your coffee, mix your cocktail and even direct you around the conference floor. But you haven't seen anything like Ameca," said Garrett Stevens, Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer with ETC. "But we're not bringing Ameca to simply highlight the advancements taking place in humanoid robot development, rather we want to make it perfectly tangible just what they're investing in when we talk about some of today's most important investment themes."

Making the Abstract Physical

Financial products generally exist primarily as numbers on a screen while investment concepts can often be opaque. Ameca serves as a tangible, physical nexus for three of those concepts - AI, robotics and energy/energy infrastructure - each of which can be accessed via an ETF from the fast-growing ETC lineup.

• Ameca's ability to converse fluently using Large Language Models represents the AI and software driving the next era of productivity. The ROBO Global Artificial Intelligence ETF (NYSE: THNQ) seeks to capture this theme by investing in the leaders of the AI revolution.
• Ameca's lifelike facial expressions and fluid limb movements demonstrate the robotics and automation technology transforming global manufacturing and services. ROBO Global Robotics & Automation Index ETF (NYSE: ROBO) invests in the global companies driving these transformative innovations.
• Ameca's need for electricity highlights the critical role of nuclear energy and infrastructure in sustaining an AI-driven world. The Range Nuclear Renaissance Index ETF (NYSE: NUKZ) invests in global companies across the nuclear power industry that enable clean, reliable power.

A New Way to Learn About Investing

Throughout the conference, Ameca will be stationed in the exhibit hall, programmed to interact with financial advisors and answer questions about the investment opportunities fueling these sectors.

"We wanted to move beyond the traditional slide deck and show advisors what the 'Next Economy' actually looks like," added Stevens. "Ameca is the perfect embodiment of the investment opportunities behind THNQ, ROBO, and NUKZ. She is the physical result of the intelligence, robotics, and power infrastructure we track every day. If you want to understand the future of the market, you need to meet the future in person."

Visit Ameca at Exchange 2026

Attendees are invited to meet Ameca at Exchange from March 15-18 at the Virgin Hotel, Las Vegas. Ameca will be available for pictures and interactive Q&A sessions, demonstrating the synergy between artificial intelligence, physical automation, and the energy required to scale both.
