  • Robotics and Artificial intelligence (AI) are not just the future but also the present, and they are poised to revolutionize our world and daily lives, both personally and professionally.

    Experts in these fields suggest that we are still in the early stages. It's akin to being able to invest in Internet-related stocks at the dawn of the Internet age. That's why allocating some of our capital to invest in robotics and AI for the medium to long term could be a rewarding idea.

    There are two primary ways to do this:

    1. Create an investment portfolio by purchasing shares of companies in the robotics and AI sectors. However, this requires time, effort, and expertise to research, analyze, and select suitable companies. Additionally, monitoring and management of the portfolio are necessary, along with associated expenses like broker commissions for buying and selling.
    2. Invest in an ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund), which streamlines the process. An ETF handles everything, including research, analysis, buying, and selling shares, all for a lower commission than creating a portfolio of individual stocks. This is the option we'll explore today.

    You might think you need to invest in two separate ETFs, one for robotics and one for AI. However, it's simpler than that. You can invest in an ETF that covers both sectors together.

    Here are three such ETFs that combine both robotics and AI sectors:
