I have special knowledge on the topic, not the etf.
The etf in my view is a buzzword product meant to capture money from people who just read an article about robots and automation. Likely won’t return better than the SP500.
Robots and automation are real and are a growth area. Investing in this is like anything else- you need to know how to assess companies and their prospects. A catchy-labeled etf isn’t meaningful in my view.
Side comment: funds, mainly etfs, are getting dumbed down so Karen the Kindergarten teacher can invest in her 403b. Nothing wrong with Karen or kindergarten teachers, but the dumbing down of investments needs to be noted. The list of holdings might be pretty but the fund performance will likely be a lot like vanilla ice cream, possibly vegan no sugar vanilla ice cream.
