Our read on UBOT
DEvery robotics fund on the shelf owns the same story stocks. UBOT is the one with the amplifier: it aims for 200% of a global robotics and AI index's daily move. A trading tool, priced like one.
The fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to 200% of the performance of the Indxx Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Thematic Index.
Why people hold it
- The geared option in a peer group of unleveraged thematic funds: it targets 200% of the daily move of a global robotics and AI index, with no margin account involved.direxion.com
- Trading since 2018, so the daily-reset machinery has run through real AI booms and drawdowns rather than a backtest.direxion.com
- The underlying index reaches across developed markets for companies tied to robotics and AI adoption, so the exposure behind the leverage is global, not US-only.sec.gov
Worth knowing
- The 2x target resets daily. Hold longer and results can diverge sharply from twice the index, especially after choppy stretches. Built to be watched, not parked.direxion.comsec.gov
- At 1.35% a year, the fee runs about double the typical robotics peer, where IBOT charges 0.47% and BOTT 0.35%.
- Small and thinly traded next to its category, which tends to mean wider bid-ask spreads and more slippage getting in and out.

UBOT Risk
This fund targets a multiple of the daily move of its index and resets daily. Hold it longer than one reset and compounding makes the return diverge from that target. In choppy markets it can lose value even when the index ends flat.
- 47.1%
How it’s calculated: standard deviation
The sample standard deviation of monthly total returns, multiplied by the square root of 12.
Uses up to 36 complete months, with at least 12 required. Total returns include reinvested distributions.
- 0.28
How it’s calculated: Sharpe ratio
Subtract each month’s Treasury-bill return from the fund’s monthly total return.
Divide the average of those excess returns by their sample standard deviation, then multiply by the square root of 12.
Uses up to 36 complete months, with at least 12 required. Each month uses the Treasury yield quoted at the end of the previous month.
- −82.9%
How it’s calculated: maximum drawdown
The largest percentage decline from an earlier peak, using total returns with reinvested distributions.
Uses up to five years through the last close, with at least 12 months required.
- 3.28
