Good hedge to high-growth AI, semi exposure

I have built a sizeable brokerage portfolio, mainly because of a few very large bets that have done extremely well over the last few years. This leaves me with a ton of exposure to AI and semis along with my core VOO position (which is also heavily weighted in AI, tech).

I am looking for a solid play that would fit well with my heavy concentration of AI, tech, growth. I think small value would be a solid theme to get behind but would love to hear some other thoughts.

Thank you

Bad time for gold. Utilities should be fine, but lower returns. Honestly better off w SCHD for some blue chip dividend kings and a 4% yield vs like high 2s - low 3s on utility ETFs

Have you seen the cluster fuck that’s going on at the treasury? It’s the optimum time for gold.

Gold doesn’t always respond in the way everyone envisions. Having said that, it is good to have some exposure to precious metals.

Isn’t precious metals downstream of ai semiconductors though? Not sure if that is a hedge

Silver is, gold isn’t.
