Replay: The Humanoid Robotics Opportunity: A Merrill-Aligned Growth Theme With KOID ETF Tuesday, August 4, 2026 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT
Bank of America (BofA) Research forecasts annual humanoid robot shipments will surge from 20,000 units in 2025 to 10 million by 2035, underscoring the scale of this emerging opportunity.1
This long term outlook closely aligns with the investment philosophy behind the KraneShares Global Humanoid and Physical AI Index ETF (Ticker: KOID), which targets companies across the full humanoid value chain.
Join KraneShares CIO Brendan Ahern and KraneShares Senior Investment Strategist Derek Yan, CFA, for an exclusive webinar for Merrill Lynch advisors where they will cover:
- A live demo of the G1 Ultimate humanoid robot
- How BofA’s robotics and automation research framework aligns with KOID’s strategy across the humanoid value chain
- KOID is now available on the Merrill platform and has been added to the ML Tactical Opportunities Model
- The long term investment case for humanoids as a structural growth driver within AI, industrial transformation, and future of work allocations for client portfolios
- How KOID provides targeted, pure play exposure to humanoid robotics and physical AI, and how it differs from broader robotics or automation strategies
- Comprehensive Q&A
Merrill advisors will also have the opportunity to schedule an on‑site demonstration of KraneShares' own Unitree Robot, KOID. Please reach out to [email protected] to schedule a meeting
