Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

BOTZCGlobal X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF

WDRNBWisdomTree Physical AI, Humanoids, and Drones Fund

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.

WDRN No data

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.

WDRN No data

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.

WDRN No data

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.
