Innovation has been an incredible source of return for investors through the last decade. Many have pointed to the fact that a substantial portion of the performance of the  S&P 500 in recent years can be attributed to just a few companies, namely Alphabet/Google, Apple, Netflix, Microsoft, Facebook and Amazon. This decade has been one of great changes across many traditional sectors, all driven by new technologies.

Innovation will continue to drive big changes and who knows maybe there are many trillion dollar companies in the making similar to what Apple has been like over the last decade. I heard Reed Hastings CEO of Netflix speak of the shift from horses to the automobile, horses were the primary mode of ground transportation for 5000 years and the automobile squashed that in just the last 100 years. Imagine what's in store for us over the next 100 years,.

This innovation space will continue to offer great prospects for investors for a long time to come. In the land of ETFs, there are a handful of names that investors are utilizing to get exposure to innovation, I think this short list is possibly the best way to invest in innovation:

▪ ARKK - ARK Innovation ETF

▪ KOIN - Innovation Shares Next Gen Protocal

▪ BOTZ - Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence

▪ ROBO - ROBO Global Robotics & Automation Index

▪ AIEQ - AI Powered Equity ETF

▪ DRIV - Global X Autonomous & Electric VehicleS

▪ AIQ - Global X Future Analytics Tech

▪ ROBT - First Trust NASDAQ Artificial Intelligence & Robotics

▪ IRBO - iShares Robotics and Artificial  Intelligence

▪ EKAR - Innovation Shares Nextgen Vehicles and Technology

▪ LOUP - Innovator Loup Frontier Tech

▪ XITK - SPDR Factset Innovative Technology

▪ IXN - iShares Global Tech

▪ DEC - ALPS Disruptive Technologies

there are others, but thes are a good starting point when looking to invest in innovation.

Keep in mind that some of these are relatively new etfs, so they are smaller and can be quite volatile as well, so act accordingly, make sure you do your own research.
