Our read on FBOT

ETF.net Research

In short

BMost robotics funds hand the job to an index. FBOT hands it to Fidelity's analysts: about 50 global picks spanning industrial robots, machine vision, autonomous driving and 3D printing, for 0.50% a year.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks long-term capital growth by normally investing at least 80% of its assets in securities of disruptive automation companies.

Why people hold it

  • Fidelity's analysts pick the names, and the fund's definition of automation runs from robotics and machine vision to autonomous driving, EVs and 3D printing.sec.gov
  • At 0.50% a year it undercuts the typical robotics and automation fund, and it concentrates in about 50 stocks rather than spreading the theme thin.
  • Born a 2020 Fidelity mutual fund, converted to an ETF in 2023, so there is real live history behind the strategy and holdings posted daily.fidelity.com
  • One of the stronger builds in the robotics and automation group on cost, portfolio construction and risk profile.

Worth knowing

  • Thinly traded next to the giant thematic funds, so bid-ask spreads and order size matter more here.
  • Two peers charge less: BOTT at 0.35% and IBOT at 0.47%.
  • No index to fall back on. Results ride on the manager's calls, and the theme can reach into any sector, so the fund can behave unlike broad tech.sec.gov
