You've seen the charts, reviewed the thematic allocations, and perhaps even added some Robotics, AI, or Nuclear exposure to your models.
But are you ready to meet your investment thesis face-to-face?
The ROBO Global team, hosted by Exchange Traded Concepts, is bringing Ameca, a highly-advanced humanoid robot, to Exchange. We’re not being gimmecky. We’re attempting to provide a deliberately tangible demonstration of what happens when three converging investment themes collide in physical form.
More Than Metal: A Walking Investment Case Study
Ameca is over six feet tall and has 61 electric motors (27 are dedicated solely to facial expressions). We’re excited for you to experience her conversational skills powered by ChatGPT and enjoy a fluid conversation.
Watch Ameca smile, frown and wink in conversation and witness an interactive, tangible expression of the robotics and automation technology underlying the investment thesis of both the ROBO Global Robotics & Automation Index ETF (ROBO) and ROBO Global Artificial Intelligence ETF (THNQ).
The humanoid robot’s presence at Exchange showcases the reality that these aren't theoretical applications. Besides entertaining Las Vegas conference attendees, there are 29 Ameca units working worldwide, serving as interactive guides and in other roles supporting a variety of institutions and research platforms. A small sample of the tens-of-thousands of humanoid robots we believe are slated to begin production in 2026.
Ameca requires constant electrical power. These computational demands, when multiplied across millions of AI applications and robotic systems globally, are creating unprecedented demand growth for electricity. This is where we believe Ameca’s presence at Exchange drives attention to the need to invest in clean, reliable power generation. The Range Nuclear Renaissance Index ETF (NUKZ) aims to provide investors exposure to this critical energy source with global growth tailwinds that can help make a technically-advanced future physically possible and help address global energy security concerns.
Why Does This Matter to Investors?
ETFs and other investment products often exist as numbers on screens. Sometimes thematic investment concepts remain abstract, particularly as they seek to provide exposure to disruptive technologies. The ROBO Global team understands that thematic investing often requires a different conversation: one connecting innovation to real-world transformation.
When clients ask what Robotics and AI exposure actually means, we want you to reference your interaction with a humanoid robot that maintained eye contact, recognized your facial expressions through embedded cameras, and responded with appropriate emotional cues. It’s our goal to help you provide a glimpse into the mechanical precision reshaping global markets.
Meet Us at Exchange
From March 15-18 at the Virgin Hotel in Las Vegas, Ameca will be stationed in the Expo hall for interactive Q&A sessions.
Bring your questions, your skepticism, and your camera. The ROBO Global team believes that sometimes the best way to understand where markets are headed is to meet the future in person.

Carefully consider the Funds’ investment objectives, risk factors, charges and expenses before investing. This and additional information can be found on the Funds' full or summary prospectuses, which may be obtained at www.roboglobaletfs.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. International investments may also involve risk from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, differences in generally accepted accounting principles, and from economic or political instability. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. Narrowly focused investments and investments in smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility. There is no guarantee the funds will achieve their stated objective. ROBO and HTEC are diversified. THNQ is non-diversified.
The liquidity of the A-shares market and trading prices of A-shares could be more severely affected than the liquidity and trading prices of other markets because the Chinese government restricts the flow of capital into and out of the A-shares market. The funds may experience losses due to illiquidity of the Chinese securities markets or delay or disruption in execution or settlement of trades.
The risks associated with investments in Robotics and Automation Companies include, but are not limited to, small or limited markets for such securities, changes in business cycles, world economic growth, technological progress, rapid obsolescence, and government regulation. Robotics and Automation Companies, especially smaller, start-up companies, tend to be more volatile than securities of companies that do not rely heavily on technology. Rapid change to technologies that affect a company's products could have a material adverse effect on such company's operating results. Robotics and Automation Companies may rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secret laws to establish and protect their proprietary rights in their products and technologies. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by these companies to protect their proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent the misappropriation of their technology or that competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to such companies' technology.
The risks associated with Artificial Intelligence (AI) Companies include, but are not limited to, small or limited markets, changes in business cycles, world economic growth, technological progress, rapid obsolescence, and government regulation. Rapid change to technologies that affect a company’s products could have a material adverse effect on such company’s operating results. AI Companies also rely heavily on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secret laws to establish and protect their proprietary rights in their products and technologies. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by these companies to protect their proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent the misappropriation of their technology or that competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to such companies’ technology. AI Companies typically engage in significant amounts of spending on research and development, and there is no guarantee that the products or services produced by these companies will be successful.
The risks associated with Medical Technology Companies include, but are not limited to, small or limited markets for such securities, changes in business cycles, world economic growth, technological progress, rapid obsolescence, and government regulation.
Diversification may not protect against market risk.
Beginning September 2, 2020, market price returns are based on the official closing price of an ETF share or, if the official closing price isn't available, the midpoint between the national best bid and national best offer (“NBBO”) as of the time the ETF calculates current NAV per share. Prior to September 2, 2020, market price returns were based on the midpoint between the Bid and Ask price. NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The returns shown do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.
