Can anyone tell me some differences or pros/cons for each of Robo Global (robg) and Robotics (rbtx)?

6

Overall quite similar distribution from a country perspective. But robg has a TER of 0.8% and rbtx only half that with 0.4%.

I’ve just spent some time researching the differences between the L&G and iShares versions, and went with L&G.

The iShares version seems to be much broader, with Snap and Apple as top10 holdings for example, while the other looks much more focused on companies which have robotics as a primary revenue source.

Would like to hear any arguments for the iShares version, apart from the 0.4% difference in fees

Currently hold both - purchased same amount at the same date and hoping to see which one performs better

I couldn’t decide between them so hopefully numbers will make this clear

So far 3 months in, performance is identical :rofl:

Any idea why was Robo Global moved to Freetrade Plus?

You should have received a message in app not to long ago about it.

L&G ETFs are in plus, Vanguard, iShares, and Invesco are in the standard account

This was covered a few weeks back specifically for ETFs

Anything not under iShares, Vanguard or Invesco will go into Plus

Oh right, no I havent seen this okay. Thank you :+1:

Yeah, What I don’t get is that these were available in ISA and now it’s behind a paywall.
I thought Freetrade plus was supposed to add new shares, not to make existing ones paid.

15

They’re still available in an ISA you just need plus.

It’s a fair question, there’s a lengthy discussion on the reasoning for the format. The short answer is no. They also discuss it in the AMA https://youtu.be/6kHBzVD46bM

Didn’t realise the AMA was finally out. Thanks for the link :+1:

As I got an account mid November and first invested on 30th November, I guess I must have missed that notification and was not aware of them going to Plus either. I just noticed them being Plus and found it odd, as I own some but don’t have Plus!

This doesn’t produce a div yield even tho the details says it does. It’s an accumulative etf not a distribution one

19

The companies in it still have an aggregated dividend yield. It’s just not paid out. I actually like that they included this even for accumulating ETFs.
It’s not a bug but a feature. :bug:
