RBTZ questions answered
Written from the latest data on this page. General information only, not financial advice.
How diversified is Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF?
Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF holds 60 securities, and its ten largest positions make up 60.0% of the fund, more concentrated than the 35.9% typical of Global ex-Australia equity funds. That makes it fairly concentrated.
Its largest country exposure is United States at 32.8%, and its biggest sector is Industrials at 46.6%, based on holdings as at 2 Sept 2026.
Which ETFs does RBTZ double up with most?
RBTZ shares the most holdings with Global X ROBO Global Robotics & Automation ETF (ROBO) (25% overlap), iShares Core MSCI World ex Australia ESG (AUD Hedged) ETF (IHWL) (15% overlap) and iShares Core MSCI World ex Australia ESG ETF (IWLD) (15% overlap). Overlap is the share of the portfolio the two funds hold in common, looking through to the underlying securities.
None of these overlaps is above half, so pairing RBTZ with one of them adds some genuinely different holdings.
How is Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF managed – active or passive?
Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF is passively managed: it follows an index and holds what that index holds, rather than relying on a manager's stock picks.
Among Global ex-Australia equity funds, active funds charge a median 0.75% a year and index funds 0.45%.
What will I pay in fees for RBTZ?
RBTZ charges a management fee of 0.57% a year, about $57 for every $10,000 invested. Only 34% of the 471 ASX ETFs we track charge more, and the median fee is 0.44%. Among Global ex-Australia equity funds, the median is 0.55%.
It is the cheapest of the 5 artificial intelligence and robotics funds we track.
The fee is taken from the fund's assets and is already reflected in its returns. You'll also pay brokerage when you buy or sell, and the bid-ask spread, which has averaged 0.14% for RBTZ.
Does Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF follow a theme?
Yes. Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF focuses on artificial intelligence and robotics, and its largest sector is Industrials at 46.6% of the fund. Thematic funds are narrower than the broad market, so they can rise or fall much more than it does.
Other ASX funds with a artificial intelligence and robotics focus include Global X ROBO Global Robotics & Automation ETF (ROBO), Global X Artificial Intelligence ETF (GXAI), Global X AI Infrastructure ETF (AINF) and Global X Humanoid Robotics ETF (HMND).
What is under the hood of RBTZ?
As at 2 Sept 2026, RBTZ's ten largest holdings are Keyence Corp (10.4%), Nvidia Corp (10.1%), Abb Ltd (9.2%), Fanuc Corp (7.5%), Intuitive Surgical Inc (6.2%), Smc Corp (4.4%), Shenzhen Inovance Technology C (4.1%), Daifuku Co Ltd (3.1%), Robotechnik Intelligent Techno (2.9%) and Alphabet Inc (2.3%). Together they make up 60.0% of the fund.
It follows an index; the issuer's PDS sets out how that index chooses and weights its holdings. Its top 10 weighting of 60.0% compares with 35.9% for Global ex-Australia equity funds.
How well has Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF performed?
Based on its category, Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF aims to grow your capital in line with the index it tracks.
To 23 Oct 2026, with distributions reinvested, it returned −18.4% over 1 year (median 6.3%; ranked 118 of 121), 8.1% a year over 3 years (median 16.8% a year; ranked 77 of 82) and −1.5% a year over 5 years (median 9.4% a year; ranked 64 of 66). The medians and rankings compare it with Global ex-Australia equity funds. Since listing in 2018 it has returned 5.5% a year.
Tracking difference is the gap between a fund's return and its index's return. We don't hold index returns, so we can't measure it for RBTZ; the issuer reports it in the monthly fact sheet. As a guide, a well-run index fund trails its index by about its fee, here 0.57% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
