BOTTBThemes Humanoid Robotics ETF

FDIFBFidelity Disruptors 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.

FDIF Fidelity's disruption bet, aimed at companies remaking work through automation. It charges 0.50% where the typical robotics-theme fund asks 0.65%, and it has been running since 2020. The trade-off: it trades quietly.

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.

FDIF The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in companies involved in disruptive automation.

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.
  • FDIF Charges 0.50% a year against a 0.65% median for its robotics and automation peer group. Cheap is rare in thematic land.
  • The portfolio hews closely to the prospectus mandate: companies involved in disruptive automation, pursued for long-term capital appreciation. Little theme drift.
  • Sits in the upper tier of its robotics and automation cohort, and its risk profile reads calmer than much of a theme built on moonshots.
  • Pays out quarterly, which is more cadence than most growth-themed funds bother with.

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.
  • FDIF Thinly traded with a modest asset base. Spreads can run wider than the theme's household names, and size limits how much the fund gets talked about.
  • Portfolio construction is the weakest link in the package: a narrow, concentrated book where individual names carry real weight.
  • Fidelity's own FBOT sits in the same cohort at the same 0.50% fee, and BOTT undercuts both at 0.35%. Worth knowing what else shares the shelf.
