Under the bonnet with ROBO Global
In 2013, a team of financial and robotics experts who shared the same vision attempted to define robotics, automation and artificial intelligence as an investment theme by creating the world’s first index in this space.
They launched the ROBO Global Robotics and Automation Index. A comprehensive, transparent and diversified benchmark which represents the whole robotics technology value chain. Five years later, the index is now being tracked by more than US$3.8 billion in assets through a number of exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

- Why the robotics, automation and AI theme is so popular with investors
- Highlighting the companies within the index and how they are selected
- Why ROBO Global is the premium index within the sector
- The importance of the sectors within the ROBO Global index
