BOTTBThemes Humanoid Robotics ETF

CROB—Defiance China Robotics ETF

In short

BOTT Most robotics funds buy the whole factory floor. BOTT buys the androids: about 30 global names across the humanoid and service robot value chain, at 0.35% a year.

CROB No data

Stated mandate

BOTT The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, an index of companies deriving significant revenue from designing and developing humanoid and service robots.

CROB No data

Why people hold it

  • BOTT At 0.35% it undercuts the typical robotics and automation ETF (median 0.65%) and every peer ranked above it: IBOT at 0.47%, FBOT and FDIF at 0.50%.
  • A true pure play. Its index, the Solactive Global Humanoid Robotics Index, targets companies building humanoid and service robots, not the broad factory automation basket.themesetfs.com
  • Global mandate, about 30 names. Tight enough that the humanoid theme actually shows up in the portfolio instead of getting buried under mega-cap ballast.themesetfs.com
  • Sits in the upper half of its robotics and automation peer group, one of the stronger builds of a very young theme.

CROB No data

Worth knowing

  • BOTT Lightly traded next to the category's giants, so spreads can be wider and bigger orders need more care at the point of trade.
  • Short file: the fund launched in 2024 and Themes relaunched it with the humanoid focus in 2025, so there is little live history to judge.globenewswire.com
  • About 30 stocks in one early-stage theme is concentrated, swingy exposure, and cash comes back to you once or twice a year at most.
