Our read on each fund

BOTTBThemes Humanoid Robotics ETF

IBOTAVanEck 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.

IBOT A straight robotics play. IBOT tracks the BlueStar Robotics Index across about 70 companies tied to robotics, rather than a broad basket of tech "disruptors", and charges well under the typical fee in its niche.

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.

IBOT The fund seeks to track the BlueStar Robotics Index as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, while following companies involved in robotics.

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.
  • IBOT 0.47% a year, comfortably below the median expense ratio among robotics and automation ETFs.
  • Index-driven and focused: roughly 70 names selected for robotics involvement, so the theme stays the theme.
  • On our review, one of the stronger builds in the robotics and automation group on cost, portfolio construction and risk profile combined.

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.
  • IBOT Thinly traded. Spreads can run wider and sizeable orders can nudge the price more than in mainstream funds.
  • Not the cheapest shelf option: Themes Humanoid Robotics (BOTT) charges 0.35%, though it targets a narrower humanoid slice.
  • Launched in 2023, so the track record is short, and payouts come annually or semiannually rather than as a steady income stream.
