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). 

In this webinar, ETF Securities will speak to two of the managing partners at ROBO Global and cover a number of topics that are at the forefront of investors' minds.

Presenters

Kris Walesby, CEO, ETF Securities Australia
Richard Lightbound, Managing Partner & CEO, ROBO Global
Jeremie Capron, Managing Partner & Director of Research, ROBO Global
