When you invest in ETFs your capital is at risk.
HANetf, Europe’s first and leading white-label UCITS ETF and ETC platform,[1] is delighted to announce the launch of Defiance Memory UCITS ETF (ticker: DRAM).
The ETF aims to provide exposure to companies involved in the development, manufacturing, commercialisation, and storage of memory semiconductors and data storage systems.
Memory prices are moving higher. Demand from AI, cloud computing, and data centres is absorbing a growing share of advanced memory capacity, while major manufacturers are prioritising higher-margin areas such as high-bandwidth memory and server-grade DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) over more commoditised consumer applications.[2]
This shift is creating pressure across the wider technology supply chain. As supply is redirected towards AI infrastructure and hyperscale data centres, manufacturers of everyday devices are facing higher input costs and tighter availability.
This year, it is expected that there will not be enough memory to meet worldwide demand.[3] DRAM and solid-state drive (SSD) prices could rise as much as 130% by the end of 2026, according to Gartner.[4]
Exposure to the memory sector through ETFs has so far only been possible in the U.S., where assets are now around $20 billion.[5] Defiance Memory UCITS ETF aims to give European investors the opportunity to access the memory sector, which will need to expand to keep up with AI-driven demand.
This is Defiance’s 4th launch since entering the European UCITS ETF market earlier this year.
« Memory is the foundational layer of the AI economy. Every model training run, inference workload, and hyperscale data centre expansion depends on DRAM, HBM, and advanced storage. DRAM gives European investors a direct, rules-based way to access this segment of the AI value chain, complementing the power infrastructure exposure already available through AIPO.”
“We are delighted to be partnering with Defiance to launch Defiance Memory UCITS ETF. The ETF captures a sector that has seen significant growth recently, driven predominantly by the rise of AI and its infrastructure. This ETF particularly complements Defiance’s AIPO ETF, which provides access to the power infrastructure behind the AI buildout.”
Founded in 2018, Defiance ETFs is a leading ETF issuer specializing in thematic, income, and leveraged strategies. The firm manages 75+ ETFs designed to provide targeted exposure to high-growth sectors including AI infrastructure, quantum computing, drones and modern warfare, and other emerging technologies.
