Overview

The Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (BOTZ) is a thematic fund issued by Global X Funds with $3.52 billion in assets under management. It currently holds an overall rank of #439 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of F with a score of 33.4 out of 100. The fund charges an expense ratio of 0.68% and offers a dividend yield of 0.47%. Trading at a price of $33.98, the fund's substantial asset base suggests significant investor adoption despite its low ranking within the broader market. It competes within a category of 17 ETFs tracked by ETFValuer, positioning it against peers like XT and WTAI. The combination of a high expense ratio and a low grade indicates challenges in cost efficiency and overall fund quality relative to the tracked universe. Its current market capitalization reflects a large scale of operations within the specialized robotics and artificial intelligence sector.

Short-term performance for the Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF shows negative momentum, with a one-day return of -1.05% and a one-week decline of -0.79%. This downward trend accelerated over the past month, resulting in a -7.14% return, and continued into the three-month period with a -9.00% loss. The six-month return stands at -9.99%, while the year-to-date figure is -7.39%, indicating persistent weakness in the near to medium term. The one-year return is -1.00%, which contrasts sharply with the three-year return of +19.32%, highlighting a significant divergence between recent results and longer-term historical gains. This pattern suggests that while the fund delivered positive returns over a three-year horizon, it has faced substantial headwinds in the last twelve months. The data points to a deceleration in performance where recent short-term losses have eroded a portion of the longer-term gains.

The fund carries a High volatility label and exhibits a beta of 1.81, indicating that its price movements are significantly more sensitive to market fluctuations than the broader benchmark. A Sharpe ratio of -0.23 suggests that the risk-adjusted returns have been negative, meaning the fund has not adequately compensated investors for the level of risk taken. The maximum drawdown of -29.02% illustrates the severity of potential losses during market downturns, reflecting the fund's susceptibility to sharp declines. This combination of high beta and a negative Sharpe ratio implies that the ETF tends to amplify market moves in both directions while delivering poor returns relative to the risk incurred. Investors in this fund may experience heightened volatility and larger drawdowns compared to more conservative thematic or broad market alternatives. The data indicates a profile where the fund is aggressive in nature, likely offering high potential returns in bull markets but suffering steep losses in bear markets.

BOTZ Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 1.77% and average daily volume is 1.0M/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $3.52B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: BOTZ is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists.
