From Digital AI to Physical AI — Why Every Advisor Needs This Webinar Today at Noon
In less than two hours, I’m going live with Derek Yan, CFA from KraneShares for a session I think every advisor needs to see.
I’m not being hyperbolic. Let me explain why.
The top 10 stocks in the S&P 500 now make up 41% of the index. That’s the most concentrated the U.S. equity market has been in decades. And here’s the part most people miss: those same 10 names only account for 32% of earnings. Price has outrun fundamentals.
If you’re an advisor with clients in a standard 60/40 or market-cap-weighted portfolio, your AI bet is almost entirely concentrated in a handful of mega-caps. That’s not diversification. That’s a directional trade disguised as an index.
What’s Changing Right Now
AI is no longer just a software story. It’s moving into the physical world — humanoid robots, embodied intelligence, autonomous systems. Morgan Stanley projects the humanoid market alone could reach $5 trillion by 2050. This isn’t science fiction. NVIDIA is building simulation platforms for it. China is mass-producing the hardware.
China is closing in on America’s AI lead. DeepSeek’s R-1 model shook global markets earlier this year. China now has 8 of the world’s top 27 large language models. Their approach is different — open-source, publicly traded, hardware-focused — and it’s working.
Enterprise AI has gone from experiment to infrastructure. McKinsey reports 88% of organizations now use AI in at least one business function. AI agents — autonomous software that executes tasks end-to-end — are the next wave. This isn’t the hype cycle anymore. This is deployment.
Why This Session Matters for Your Practice
Derek is going to walk through exactly how to think about building a portfolio for the next phase of the AI cycle — not the phase that already happened. Specifically:
How to broaden AI holdings beyond the Mag 7 into semis, datacenter, edge AI, and enterprise software
Where physical AI and humanoid robotics fit in a portfolio today
Why China’s AI ecosystem is investable — and how it differs from the U.S. approach
How to reduce concentration risk without abandoning the AI theme
This is CE credit approved. So you get continuing education credit just for showing up.

I’ve done a lot of webinars. This one covers ground that I haven’t seen anyone else lay out this clearly — the full AI value chain from digital to physical, from the U.S. to China, from public to private markets. If you’re managing client portfolios with any AI tilt, you need this hour.
See you at noon.
