Timefolio Asset Management Lists New 'TIME Global Humanoid Robot Industry Active' ETF

Investing Across the Entire Physical AI Industry

Timefolio Asset Management will list the 'TIME Global Humanoid Robot Industry Active' Exchange Traded Fund (ETF), which invests in companies related to the global advanced robotics industry, on May 19.

The TIME Global Humanoid Robot Industry Active ETF invests across the entire 'Physical AI' industry, where artificial intelligence (AI) goes beyond the digital realm to see, judge, and move in the real world, thereby generating productivity. Recently, global robotics companies have started deploying humanoid robots in industrial settings, and the ecosystem is expanding to include robotics learning, simulation, and AI semiconductors.

The core differentiators of this ETF are its global investment scope and active management approach. The humanoid industry is a complex value chain that cannot be completed by a single country or company alone. According to recent trends, the United States leads in AI models, semiconductors, and simulation; China excels in actuators, reducers, batteries, and mass production supply chains; and Korea and Japan are strong in batteries, sensors, and precision components. Timefolio plans to implement a strategy that invests flexibly across the entire global value chain.

Timefolio Asset Management explained that, given the characteristics of the humanoid industry, active management offers more advantages than a passive approach. Similar to the early electric vehicle market, the humanoid industry is likely to enter a full-fledged growth phase when component standardization, cost reduction, mass production expansion, and data accumulation align. In an emerging industry, leading companies and key bottlenecks can continue to change.

A representative from Timefolio Asset Management stated, "We plan to pursue an investment strategy that broadly analyzes the global humanoid and physical AI value chain, and responds swiftly to newly emerging key players and technological shifts. As this is still an early-stage industry with no clear winner, rather than focusing on a single country or completed robot company, we will actively respond across the entire global value chain."
