3Overlap with other funds
2Measured against every other fund on this site, from the same filings. Combined effective holdings is how the pair behaves held in equal size.
| With | Overlap | Shared | Combined effective |

| ROBO vs BOTZ | 24.79% | 23 | 49.5 |
| ROBO vs AIQ | 9.17% | 12 | 86.7 |
As filed, collateral included
3.66% collateralROBO's filing lists 81 positions including 3.66% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 67.3 effective holdings with a top ten of 19.71%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 73.7 with a top ten of 17.7%. The collateral is matched by a liability and is not a holding the fund chose; since 2026-09-18 every figure on this site sets it aside (methodology). Both numbers are in the data.

Returns the fund reported
2019-08 – 2026-04Monthly total returns from Item B.5 of ROBO's own filings, 81 months on record. Not computed here and not from a price feed.
No compounded figure is shown. This site's two readings of ROBO's monthly returns — the filed figures and a series computed from prices — differ by a median of 1.94 percentage points over 81 months, more than distributions explain. Which is wrong cannot be told from the filings; the others in the same position are listed here.
Who borrows ROBO's shares
2026-07-31The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-07-31, $134m was out to 20 borrowers. The largest, BofA Securities, Inc., held 25.6% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |

| BARCLAYS CAPITAL INC. | $21m | 15.9% |
| STATE STREET BANK & TRUST COMPANY | $17m | 12.6% |

| GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. | $11m | 8.2% |
The filing reports no cash collateral position against this loan. Collateral taken in a form the fund does not hold as a position does not appear in N-PORT, so this is silence rather than absence. What the collateral figure can and cannot show. Every quarter ROBO has filed, with each borrower: ROBO.json · all funds.
Since the previous filing
2026-01-31 → 2026-04-3078 positions became 78: 1 added (1.1% of the fund at the later date), 1 dropped (1.1% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 7.9%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.
