    Q1 2021 Performance Report: ROBO Global ETFs

    Summary:

    The Robotics & Automation ETF (ROBO) returned 4.27% in the first quarter of 2021, the Healthcare Technology & Innovation ETF (HTEC) returned 0.41%, and the Artificial Intelligence ETF (THNQ) decreased 1.38%. With tech stocks trailing and cyclical and value stocks catching up as the economic recovery continues to broaden, the ROBO Global ETFs exhibited the potential benefits of diversification. Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss. In this report, we discuss the key quarterly performance takeaways and why we believe that robotics, AI, and healthcare technologies should be of interest to investors.

        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, HTEC, and THNQ are 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.

Rapid change to technologies that affect a company’s products could have a material adverse effect on such company’s operating results.

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.
