Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

AIHYBDefiance AI Hyperscale Leaders ETF

PBOTCPictet AI & Automation ETF

In short

AIHY No data

PBOT Most AI ETFs hand the theme to an index. PBOT is a stock picker: Pictet's thematic team running global AI and automation, from robotics to semiconductors, launched as part of the two-century-old Geneva firm's first US ETF lineup.

Stated mandate

AIHY No data

PBOT The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

AIHY No data

  • PBOT Active by design: at least 80% of assets in global AI and automation equities, measured against MSCI ACWI rather than a packaged AI theme index.businesswire.com
  • The mandate covers the whole value chain (robotics, cybersecurity, semiconductors, software) and is global, so the manager isn't fenced into US megacaps.
  • Pedigree behind the wrapper: Pictet Asset Management, part of an independent Geneva group with roughly two centuries of history, with PBOT in its first US-listed ETF range.businesswire.compictet.com

Worth knowing

AIHY No data

  • PBOT At 0.70% a year you're paying active-manager pricing in a shelf where index versions cost less (XAIX at 0.35%, QTUM at 0.40%).
  • It launched in October 2025, so the record is short, and with an active mandate the portfolio reflects the team's calls rather than a published theme index.businesswire.com
  • As a recent entrant it's small and trades lightly next to the category's established names, which typically shows up as wider bid-ask spreads.
