New York, NY – September 26th, 2025 – KraneShares, a leading provider of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) delivering access to emerging technologies and innovative global asset classes, today announced that the KraneShares Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF (Nasdaq: AGIX) has been added to LPL Financial’s No-Transaction-Fee (NTF) platform, expanding accessibility for LPL’s more than 22,000 financial advisors and their clients.

LPL Financial is the largest independent broker-dealer and a leading provider of investment and business solutions to financial advisors across the United States. Its NTF platform allows advisors to offer a curated range of ETFs and mutual funds without incurring transaction charges, improving cost efficiency for investors. However, investors are still responsible for the ongoing expenses of the ETFs, such as management fees and other operating costs.

AGIX: A New Approach to AI Investing
AGIX offers a blended approach to AI exposure:

• Private AI Leaders: Exposure to private artificial intelligence companies such as Anthropic (3.92% weight in AGIX) and xAI (1.97% weight in AGIX)¹, offering investors a chance to participate in early-stage innovation typically limited to venture capital and private equity investors.
• Public Market Innovators: Allocations to publicly listed companies involved in the AI ecosystem—from semiconductors and cloud infrastructure to software and application layers—helping investors capture the full value chain of AI adoption.

“Artificial intelligence is positioned as a significant growth opportunity in this decade,” said Derek Yan, CFA, Senior Investment Strategist at KraneShares. “AGIX allows investors to gain exposure not only to the household names of AI but also emerging companies—both public and private—participating in this technological transformation.”

Coinciding with AGIX’s addition to LPL’s NTF platform, KraneShares will host a live webinar on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, titled “Anthropic’s Surge & The Potential Benefits of Pre-IPO Exposure in AI ETFs.” The session will feature speakers from Etna Capital Partners and KraneShares, covering the outlook for public and private AI markets, key developments from companies like Anthropic and xAI, and a review of AGIX’s positioning and performance. Investors can register here.
