Our read on DRNZ

ETF.net Research

DThe first US-listed pure-play drone ETF. Instead of aerospace giants with a UAV side project, DRNZ tracks an index that puts 80% of its weight in companies earning most of their revenue from drones and the tech that enables them.

Stated mandate

The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in companies principally engaged in drones or unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturing or enabling technology.

Why people hold it

  1. 01The purity rule is written into the index: 80% of weight to firms deriving the majority of revenue from drones or enabling technology, 20% to defense names with dedicated UAV programs.rexshares.comvettafi-docs.b-cdn.net
  2. 02Launched in 2025 as REX's first-to-market drone pure-play, covering combat, surveillance, logistics and counter-drone in one ticker rather than a thin sleeve inside a broad aerospace fund.rexshares.com
  3. 03Fee lands at 0.65%, level with the median for its robotics and automation peer group, and the underlying index reconstitutes and rebalances quarterly.vettafi-docs.b-cdn.net

Worth knowing

  1. 01Concentrated by design: about 50 holdings, with the index allowing a single pure-play name up to 15% of weight and diversified names up to 5%.vettafi-docs.b-cdn.net
  2. 02It listed in late 2025, so there is little history behind it to show how closely it tracks its index or how it trades when markets get rough.
  3. 03At 0.65% it costs more than broader automation peers such as BOTT (0.35%) and IBOT (0.47%), which spread across robotics instead of one flight-focused theme.
