FBOTBFidelity Disruptive Automation ETF

IBOTAVanEck Robotics ETF

In short

FBOT Most robotics funds hand the job to an index. FBOT hands it to Fidelity's analysts: about 50 global picks spanning industrial robots, machine vision, autonomous driving and 3D printing, for 0.50% 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

FBOT The fund seeks long-term capital growth by normally investing at least 80% of its assets in securities of disruptive automation companies.

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

FBOT Fidelity's analysts pick the names, and the fund's definition of automation runs from robotics and machine vision to autonomous driving, EVs and 3D printing.sec.gov
At 0.50% a year it undercuts the typical robotics and automation fund, and it concentrates in about 50 stocks rather than spreading the theme thin.
Born a 2020 Fidelity mutual fund, converted to an ETF in 2023, so there is real live history behind the strategy and holdings posted daily.fidelity.com
One of the stronger builds in the robotics and automation group on cost, portfolio construction and risk profile.

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

FBOT Thinly traded next to the giant thematic funds, so bid-ask spreads and order size matter more here.
Two peers charge less: BOTT at 0.35% and IBOT at 0.47%.
No index to fall back on. Results ride on the manager's calls, and the theme can reach into any sector, so the fund can behave unlike broad tech.sec.gov

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.
