Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

IBOTAVanEck Robotics ETF

RTOODVistaShares Robotics Supercycle ETF

In short

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.

RTOO No data

Stated mandate

IBOT The fund seeks to track the BlueStar Robotics Index as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, while following companies involved in robotics.

RTOO No data

Why people hold it

  • 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.

RTOO No data

Worth knowing

  • 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.
