Investment trends highlight dividend fund performance and AI-driven tech growth

An analysis of popular dividend funds in the Czech Republic shows that several actively managed funds performed better against inflation than low-cost dividend ETFs between 2021 and 2025. Amundi was noted as a top performer, yielding approximately 89 percent in Czech koruna, including reinvested dividends.

In the technology sector, South Korean company SK hynix has emerged as a major beneficiary of the artificial intelligence boom due to its focus on High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) chips. Meanwhile, Palantir continues to see significant stock growth driven by demand for its data analytics technologies, though it remains a controversial figure due to its heavy reliance on government contracts.

Additionally, the VGLA ETF is gaining attention for providing exposure to nearly the entire global equity market.
