Our read on DRNZ

ETF.net Research

In short

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

  • The 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.comb-cdn.net
  • Launched 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
  • Fee lands at 0.65%, level with the median for its robotics and automation peer group, and the underlying index reconstitutes and rebalances quarterly.b-cdn.net

Worth knowing

  • Concentrated 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%.b-cdn.net
  • It 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.
  • At 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.
