CABZDRoundhill Robotaxi, Autonomous Vehicles & Technology ETF

IBOTAVanEck Robotics ETF

In short

CABZ Most robotics ETFs buy factory arms and humanoids. CABZ narrows the lens to driverless: an actively managed basket of about 30 robotaxi, autonomous-vehicle and enabling-tech names, launched in 2026.

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

CABZ CABZ is an actively managed ETF investing in equity securities of companies involved in robotaxis, autonomous vehicles, and related technology.

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

  • CABZ The mandate is robotaxis, autonomous vehicles and the technology underneath, not robotics broadly, so the driverless theme stays undiluted by factory automation.roundhillinvestments.com
  • Actively managed, so the manager can move between chipmakers, sensor suppliers and fleet operators as the autonomy race shifts, rather than waiting on an index committee.roundhillinvestments.com
  • At 0.59% a year it prices below the median robotics-and-automation ETF, which is uncommon for an active fund working a theme this narrow.
  • 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

  • CABZ Roughly 30 holdings in one narrow theme: news at a single company can move this fund more than a diversified tech basket.
  • It launched in January 2026, so there is no long record to judge, and newer, smaller funds tend to trade with wider bid/ask spreads.
  • Broader robotics exposure costs less elsewhere (BOTT at 0.35%, IBOT at 0.47%), though neither is built specifically around autonomous driving.
  • 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.
