Corgi, an AI fintech startup, announced that its Corgi Lithography & Semiconductor Photonics ETF reached more than $150 million in assets under management. The fund trades on Cboe BZX under the ticker EUV and launched on May 6, 2026. The milestone came less than two weeks after the ETF began trading.

Corgi said the growth reflects investor interest in companies tied to photonics and light-based technology used in semiconductor manufacturing and AI infrastructure.

The actively managed ETF invests at least 80 percent of its net assets in companies involved in the development, deployment, and operation of photonics and light-based technologies. Its holdings span the photonics value chain, including extreme ultraviolet lithography equipment, photoresist manufacturers, and metrology firms.

Nico Laqua, CEO of Corgi, said the fund gives investors access to companies building a critical layer of the technology stack. He noted that extreme ultraviolet lithography is used to print every advanced chip and that semiconductor photonics enables those chips to communicate with each other.
