$IQM
Franklin's intelligent machines ETF is an actively managed fund investing in companies behind intelligent machines: robotics, automation, sensors and the chips and software that power them. It often holds large positions in AI chip and semiconductor equipment names, so it can trade much like a tech growth fund. It pays little or no dividend.
$KOID
KraneShares' humanoid robotics fund tracks companies building humanoid robots and the parts inside them: actuators, sensors, reducers, batteries and AI chips. It has grown into one of the largest dedicated humanoid ETFs. Humanoid robots are an early-stage market. Many holdings are component suppliers whose revenue today comes mostly from other businesses, and there is meaningful exposure to Chinese and other Asian companies.
Lower fees and more assets are helpful, but they are not the whole story. The bigger question is which strategy matches what you want to own. This comparison is not a recommendation to buy or sell either fund.
