Dr. Robot​

The demand for robotic surgery has never been stronger given the growing desire for accurate, safe and minimally invasive medical procedures. Technology is evolving to meet that need, driving growing opportunities for investors.

The demand for robotic surgery has never been stronger given the growing desire for accurate, safe and minimally invasive medical procedures. Technology is evolving to meet that need, driving growing opportunities for investors.​​

​​​​A Surge in Robotic Surgery?
​​​
  • As the chart demonstrates, the market for robotic surgery is expected to nearly double from 2019 to 2030. The most significant driver of this strong growth is better patient outcomes. There is evidence that robotic surgeries are safer and more effective, with higher precision and minimal incision, reducing blood loss and decreasing the chance of infection, producing faster recovery times, shorter hospital stays and lower levels of readmission.

  • Robotically assisted surgeries feature a doctor controlling a computer-aided robot that has surgical instruments mounted on its arms. These procedures have grown rapidly with 10 million procedures having been performed cumulatively on Intuitive Surgical’s robotic surgery system da Vinci, for example. According to Alger, fewer than 5% of surgeries globally are performed robotically, leaving the potential for strong growth.

  • We believe, investors can gain exposure to this growing area of health care by investing in robotic surgical platforms, medical device manufacturers and chip makers.

ETF Investors

This ETF is different from traditional ETFs.

Traditional ETFs tell the public what assets they hold each day. This ETF will not. This may create additional risks for your investment. Specifically:

You may have to pay more money to trade the ETF’s shares. This ETF will provide less information to traders, who tend to charge more for trades when they have less information.

The price you pay to buy ETF shares on an exchange may not match the value of the ETF’s portfolio. The same is true when you sell shares. These price differences may be greater for this ETF compared to other ETFs because it provides less information to traders.

These additional risks may be even greater in bad or uncertain market conditions.

The differences between this ETF and other ETFs may also have advantages. By keeping certain information about the ETF confidential, this ETF may face less risk that other traders can predict or copy its investment strategy. This may improve the ETF’s performance. If other traders are able to copy or predict the ETF’s investment strategy, however, this may hurt the ETF’s performance. For additional information regarding the unique attributes and risks of this ETF, please refer to the prospectus.
