Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

BOTZCGlobal X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF

FDIFBFidelity Disruptors ETF

In short

BOTZ One of the original robotics-and-AI ETFs, running since 2016 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund: roughly 60 developed-market names covering industrial robots, factory automation and autonomous vehicles.

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

BOTZ BOTZ seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Indxx Global Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Thematic Index. It invests primarily in companies benefiting from robotics and AI adoption, including industrial and non-industrial robotics and autonomous vehicles.

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

Why people hold it

  • BOTZ Trading since 2016 and now a multi-billion-dollar, actively traded fund, so getting in and out tends to be straightforward.
  • Tracks a published Indxx robotics and AI index, so the basket is set by disclosed rules rather than a manager's stock-picking mood.
  • Roughly 60 developed-market names spanning industrial and non-industrial robotics and autonomous vehicles: a concentrated theme, not mega-cap tech in disguise.
  • 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

  • BOTZ The 0.68% fee sits above the robotics cohort median, and cheaper shelf-mates exist: BOTT at 0.35%, IBOT at 0.47%.
  • About 60 stocks in a single theme means one company's stumble moves this fund far more than it would a broad index.
  • Distributions come once or twice a year, so it works as a theme holding rather than an income line.
  • 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.
