With the global robotics and automation space expected to quadruple in size over the next five years, it seems like an obvious theme for ETF investors to be over-allocated to. But with the proliferation of funds offering exposure - there are six funds with the word "Robotics" in their names - choosing the right one can be challenging. ROBO Global was first to market in this space, launching its flagship ROBO Global Robotics and Automation Index ETF (ROBO) all the way back in 2013. ROBO's Director of Research Jeremie Capron joins the podcast and offers an in-depth look at the Robotics space - and the painstaking research process he believes sets ROBO apart from its competitors.

Innovation[CS1] [MC2] has moved a little slower in the last several months thanks to the coronavirus. Sure, new phones and computers continue to come to market, but the elements that power those products saw development slow significantly. Remote work and supply chain shutdowns have hindered further development of technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics and even 5G. But that hasn't stopped companies developing that technology from continuing to thrive. The Robo Global Robotics and Automation ETF (NYSEARCA: ROBO) — an https://moneyandmarkets.com/how-to-invest-in-an-etf/ (exchange-traded fund) (ETF) tracking robotic and automation stocks— jumped more than 74% since reaching a low in March 2020.

You often hear people talking about a particular investment thesis. A few popular ones would be water, Bio-tech, Cannabis. Logic and investing are not as closely related as you may think. Any thesis is not right one hundred percent of the time. Different sectors may move in and out of leadership, which is normal. You should be knowledgeable about the investing universe so you can make informed decisions and choose the right for your risk tolerance, your time horizon, and your own unique financial objectives. Along these lines today we hear from Bill Studebaker president and chief investment officer of Robo Global. Robo Global runs the robotics and automation index ETF. Bill will explain exactly what all that means and his approach on investing in companies that are at the forefront of using robotics and artificial intelligence, rather than trying to segment out to companies that only specialize in that space.
