ARKQCARK Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF

FBOTBFidelity Disruptive Automation ETF

In short

ARKQ ARK's autonomy bet, running since 2014: about 40 hand-picked stocks in robotics and autonomous tech, no index in sight. ARK posts holdings daily and emails its trades, so you can see exactly what changed and when.

FBOT Most 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

ARKQ The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.

FBOT 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

  • ARKQ Active by design: at least 80% of assets sit in autonomous technology and robotics companies ARK selects itself, held in a tight book of about 40 names.ark-funds.com
  • Unusual openness for an active fund: ARK posts portfolio holdings files every trading day and sends trade information for its active ETFs to anyone who subscribes.ark-funds.com
  • Launched in 2014, it is one of the longer-running names in the robotics and automation group and has grown into a multi-billion-dollar fund.
  • The mandate is global, so ARK can own foreign as well as domestic robotics and autonomy companies rather than being fenced into US listings.ark-funds.com
  • FBOT 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

  • ARKQ At 0.75% a year it runs above the roughly 0.65% cohort median and well above index-built rivals like BOTT (0.35%) and IBOT (0.47%). The stock picking is what you pay for.
  • Non-diversified with about 40 holdings, so a handful of positions steer the ride and single-stock news lands harder than in a broad-market fund.ark-funds.com
  • Everything rides on the manager's calls: the prospectus flags management risk and the fund's dependence on the adviser's key personnel.ark-funds.com
  • FBOT 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
