KraneShares Global Humanoid Robotics and Physical AI Index ETF

KOID

Market cap $196M

KraneShares Global Humanoid and Embodied Intelligence Index ETF offers targeted exposure to the accelerating humanoid robotics and embodied AI sector. KOID has delivered strong performance, up 55% since my initial BUY, but is currently technically overbought amid the AI/semiconductor mania. Risks include sector overvaluation, strategic metals constraints, and unproven market adoption for humanoid robotics.

Exceptional Q4 earnings and an impressive end to 2025 for tech leader NVIDIA Corp. NASDAQ: NVDA may indicate that the AI phenomenon isn't slowing down any time soon. Despite fears of a bubble, the AI industry is continuing its rapid expansion to a degree that makes it difficult for just about any sector or industry to ignore.

KraneShares Global Humanoid & Emb Intell Idx ETF offers diversified exposure to the global humanoid robotics sector.

There is no question that 2026 is already set up to be something of a continuance of 2025, at least in the sense of moving deeper into the world of AI, automation, and robotics.

NEW YORK, Dec. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KraneShares, a leading provider of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) delivering access to emerging technologies and innovative global asset classes, today announced that the KraneShares Global Humanoid & Embodied Intelligence Index ETF (Nasdaq: KOID) has been added to LPL Financial's No-Transaction-Fee (NTF) platform, expanding accessibility for LPL's more than 22,000 financial advisors and their clients.

KOID is the first US-listed ETF to focus on the global "humanoid robotics" industry.
