  • The Fund is exposed to concentration risk by tracking a single region or country.
  • The Index constituents may be concentrated in a specific industry or sector, which may potentially more volatile than a fund with a diversified portfolio.
  • Robotics and artificial intelligence sector is sensitive to risks including small or limited markets for such securities, changes in business cycles, world economic growth, technological progress, rapid obsolescence, and government regulation.
  • Investment in Emerging Market, such as A-share market, may involve increased risks and special considerations not typically associated with investments in more developed markets, such as liquidity risk, currency risks, political risk, legal and taxation risks, and the likelihood of a high degree of volatility.
  • The Stock Connect is subject to quota limitations. Where a suspension in the trading through the Stock Connect is effected, the Sub-Fund’s ability to invest in A-Shares or access Mainland China markets through the programme will be adversely affected.

The Fund may suffer losses from its usage of FDIs.
  • The Manager may at its discretion pay dividends out of the capital of the Fund. Distributions paid out of capital, represent a return of an investor’s original investment or its gains and may potentially reduce the Fund’s Net Asset Value per Share as well as the capital available for future investment.

How Unitree Powers Global X China Robotics and AI ETF

By: Global X HK ETF Research

Unitree Robotics (688836 CH) went public on Shanghai’s Exchange on August 19, 2026. Based on the “fast entry” rule in its index methodology, the Global X China Robotics and AI ETF (2807 HK) successfully added Unitree to its portfolio on August 27, 2026, making it one of the first ETF on the Hong Kong Exchange to include the company.

Global X China Robotics and AI ETF (2807 HK)

China’s humanoid robotics industry has recently seen rapid growth, capturing significant market attention. However, investors have faced a major bottleneck: most of the leading humanoid Robot companies have remained privately held.

Of course, many Chinese robotics firms have been listed on the stock market, but they primarily specialize in traditional “industrial robots.” Humanoid robots require a fundamentally different set of core competencies:

  • Industrial Robot: The priority is executing repetitive, ultra-precise tasks within highly controlled manufacturing environments.
  • Humanoid Robot: The priority is perceiving, analysing, and acting in unpredictable environments using Embodied AI (physical AI) capabilities.

Although the humanoid robotics demands these advanced AI capabilities, listed robot companies largely lacked such capabilities.

This landscape, however, is about to change. Triggered by the IPO of Unitree Robotics in August, a wave of public listings from AI-driven humanoid robotics companies is expected to follow in the coming quarters.

The Global X China Robotics & AI ETF (2807 HK) serves as an ideal investment vehicle for gaining exposure to these emerging humanoid leaders, thanks to the index methodology that features a “fast entry” rule to add IPO stocks at an early stage.

Closing the Embodied AI Gap

Traditional holdings such as Inovance (300124 CH) and Supcon (688777 CH) provide reliable exposure to traditional process automation, industrial control systems, and electric motors, but they focus mainly on factory automation, performing fixed and repetitive tasks. Unitree changes the game by combining advanced physical hardware (like its H1 and G1 humanoid robots) with deep learning artificial intelligence, creating machines that can adapt, learn, and perform versatile tasks.

By adding Unitree to the index, 2807 HK move beyond just holding standard factory equipment suppliers. It transitions into a forward-looking fund with direct exposure to cutting-edge, real-world AI technology.

About Unitree

According to SemiAnalysis and industry research, Unitree Robotics is rapidly emerging as a global hardware titan akin to BYD and DJI. Its core competitiveness lies in a highly vertically integrated supply chain and proprietary motor-drive technology, targeting core joints that account for 50% to 70% of a humanoid robot’s BOM cost. Leveraging China’s robust ecosystem, Unitree mass-produces high-dynamic robots at a fraction of Western manufacturing costs. The company led the global market in 2025 with over 5,500 humanoid shipments, securing a 32.4% share, and captured over 52% of the global quadruped market in the first half of 2026. Transitioning from dominant quadruped robots to the practical deployment of its G1 humanoid, Unitree combines high gross margins, aggressive pricing, and massive scale to reshape and lead the global robotics industry.

Making exposure to Unitree through 2807 HK

While STAR Market-listed stocks like Unitree remain largely restricted for many overseas investors, Global X China Robotics and AI ETF (2807 HK) offers international investors an accessible avenue for Unitree exposure.

Conversely, Unitree and potential upcoming humanoid robot IPOs may transform 2807 HK from industrial robotics portfolio into a dynamic high growth play. By integrating embodied AI, the fund will provide investors with access to China’s low-cost manufacturing scale and market dominance in next-generation physical AI.
