This episode of the *ETF Zoo* features Dave Nadig, President &amp; Director of Research at ETF.com; Eric Balchunas, Senior ETF Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence; and Todd Sohn, Senior ETF &amp; Technical Strategist, Strategas Securities. The crew digs into the unprecedented flows into the [**Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM)**](https://www.etf.com/DRAM) as well as predictions about what’s ahead for the fund and sector.

DRAM shattered industry records by crossing $10 billion in assets under management in just a matter of weeks.This week’s Zoo crew explores the fund's momentum while also digging into its strategic pick and shovel play on artificial intelligence through its focus on the capacity-constrained semiconductor and memory sector. There’s also skepticism over the rapid, derivative ETF innovation trailing its success, including recently filed autocallable variations from other issuers. Is it a warning that the market may be getting pushed too the brink with highly engineered products designed primarily to manufacture income out of volatility?

Don’t miss the full conversation that includes a lively discussion of Cathie Wood and ARK Investments, the latest unexpected victims of leveraged funds, and more. Tune in [**here**](https://www.etf.com/sections/podcasts/etf-zoo-why-rebalancing-killed-ark-star).
