About this ETF
The First Trust Nasdaq Artificial Intelligence and Robotics ETF, referred to as "the Fund," aims to deliver investment returns that broadly correspond to the price movements and income generated by a specific benchmark, prior to its own operational costs. This benchmark is identified as the Nasdaq CTA Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Index ("the Index"). A core strategy involves the Fund customarily deploying a minimum of 90% of its net assets, including any investment borrowings, into the common shares and depositary receipts that comprise this Index. The Index itself is crafted to monitor the financial performance of corporations actively engaged in artificial intelligence ("AI") and robotics, encompassing a range of economic sectors such as technology, industrial, and others.

Latest News for ROBT
No articles mention this fund directly in the last 7 days; showing general ETF coverage.
Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
