WDRNBWisdomTree Physical AI, Humanoids, and Drones Fund

In short

BULD Most robotics funds stop at the robots. BULD's index keeps going up the line to 3D printing and computer-aided design, the software that draws the part before a machine builds it. Rules-based, global, roughly 60 names, 0.49%.

WDRN No data

Stated mandate

BULD The fund uses a rules-based approach to provide exposure to globally listed companies and depositary receipts focused on robotics and manufacturing automation, 3D printing, or computer-aided design. It seeks to track the BlueStar Robotics and 3D Printing Index.

WDRN No data

Why people hold it

  • BULD The mandate reaches past robots. The index covers robotics and manufacturing automation, 3D printing and computer-aided design, held through globally listed shares and depositary receipts.paceretfs.com
  • Fee is 0.49%, under the median for its robotics and automation peer group. A couple of rivals go lower: BOTT at 0.35%, IBOT at 0.47%.
  • Passive and rules-based. The BlueStar Robotics and 3D Printing Index sets the roughly 60 holdings, so the recipe is published rather than left to a manager's discretion.paceretfs.com
  • Live since 2022 and sits in the upper half of its robotics and automation cohort in our review.

WDRN No data

Worth knowing

  • BULD Small asset base and light trading. Bid/ask spreads can cost more than the headline fee on a given trade, especially in size.
  • Roughly 60 stocks in one industrial theme, listed around the world, so moves in a narrow slice of the market and in foreign currencies show up directly.
  • Distributions land annually or semiannually. This is a theme wrapper, not a cash-flow one.
