ROBO: Missing The Mark In These 3 Areas
ROBO Global Robotics & Automation ETF is a sell due to its high fees and lack of strong holdings that will capture industry growth. ROBO's top holdings lack the size, scale, and R&D capacity compared to mega-cap tech companies like Amazon, Nvidia, and Meta. ROBO's high expense ratio of nearly 1% could cost investors significantly over time, particularly compared to lower fee ETFs.

ROBO: Bet On The Consumers, Not The Innovators
The ROBO Global Robotics and Automation Index ETF is too diversified, failing to outperform the S&P 500 over multiple time frames. The real beneficiaries of automation are the users, not the creators, making a simple S&P 500 index fund a better investment. The ETF's holdings are fairly priced with limited upside, and higher interest rates could make them vulnerable to market corrections.
