Korea Investment Management to List 'ACE K Humanoid Robot Industry TOP2+' ETF on April 7
Korea Investment Management announced on April 6 that it will list the 'ACE K Humanoid Robot Industry TOP2+' exchange-traded fund (ETF) on April 7.
The ACE K Humanoid Robot Industry TOP2+ ETF is a product that focuses on investing in two core companies within the humanoid industry. Its underlying index is the Akros K-Humanoid Robot Top2+ Index, which consists of 15 stocks listed on the Korean stock market that have strong relevance to the humanoid robot industry.
The ACE K Humanoid Robot Industry TOP2+ ETF targets the humanoid robot industry, which is broadly divided into ‘finished products (humanoid robots)’ and ‘core components (robotics value chain)’. Hyundai Motor and Robotis are the representative companies in each sector, and the ETF plans to allocate approximately 20% of its portfolio to each of these two companies.
Hyundai Motor was re-evaluated as a physical AI-based robotics company after demonstrating its humanoid 'Atlas' at the world's largest electronics and IT exhibition, 'CES 2026'. Robotis has demonstrated its competitiveness by securing global companies as clients in the actuator sector, which is a core component of humanoids.
In addition to the top two stocks, Rainbow Robotics, Doosan Robotics, SPG, SVB Tech, Hyundai Mobis, Hyundai Autoever, and Clobot are also expected to be included in the portfolio. The ETF aims to invest in the entire industrial structure that expands alongside the growth of the humanoid industry, covering the full flow from finished products to components and software. However, the expected portfolio constituents may change depending on market conditions.

Nam Yongsoo, Head of ETF Management at Korea Investment Management, stated, "The ACE K Humanoid Robot Industry TOP2+ ETF is characterized by its focus on two core stocks while also investing in the entire humanoid robot ecosystem." He emphasized, "Since the industry is still in its early stages, it is more effective to take a strategy that looks at the entire value chain together with core companies, rather than attempting to predict and invest based on the performance of individual companies."
