The index holds globally listed companies with a minimum market capitalization of USD 1 billion operating<br \/>\nin sectors such as factory automation equipment, semiconductors, industrial machine parts, and programmable logic devices. The index rules only select companies with positive one-year return.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, the composition is tilted towards companies whose success in these areas is<br \/>\ncorroborated by their stock\u2019s performance over the previous twelve months.<br \/>\nThe Solactive Industrial Robotics &#038; Automation Index offers investors the opportunity to capitalize<br \/>\non the digitization trends affecting world economies, with a specific focus on the ongoing<br \/>\nchanges in the manufacturing and industrial sectors. The International Federation of Robotics<br \/>\nhas found that robotic density is rising globally in manufacturing industries[[<br \/>\nInternational Federation of Robotics (2018).
