Right now, somewhere in the world, there’s a new “boom” market occurring.

And in this boom market, fortunes will be made, industries will transform, and the economies of entire regions will change.

What is a “boom market”? 

A boom market is any market, region, or industry seeing rapid and significant economic growth. 

In the stock market, this usually means a group of stocks growing exponentially fast.

It’s in these boom markets that smart investors and entrepreneurs can grow rich. 

It’s also in these markets where one can secure or rapidly grow a retirement fund.

Already we’ve seen big trends turn into big boom markets…

Today, I want to tell you about one of these boom markets: Robotics and AI.

The “Future Brain” Market

The past near-two decades have seen dramatic improvements in the robotics space, and it’s only going to escalate from here.

Today, robotic drones are used to fight wildfires, keeping humans out of harm’s way. Robots are used to deliver blood to remote hospitals in Africa.

“Nurse bots” prepare and deliver medications behind the scenes in pharmacies in hospitals, leaving staff to focus on urgent patient care.

In the agriculture sector, robots are used to delicately pluck weeds from thousands of acres of farmland, eliminating the need for harmful chemicals.

In the fulfillment and logistics industry, robotics are taking over dangerous jobs and saving employees from back-breaking labor.

It doesn’t take an advanced engineering degree to understand a simple fact…

The Age of Robotics is here, today and now.

The global market for robotics is expected to reach $210 billion by 2025, according to Statista. This represents a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 26% from where it is today...

A rate that, Valuewalk reports, beats legendary investor Warren Buffett’s 19% CAGR over 50 years.

Obviously, the outstanding growth rate in robotics and AI offers investors a huge opportunity. 

And you don’t have to take my word for it. 

Take a look at where all the “smart” money is going: 2018 (the last fully reported year) saw a record amount of venture capital deals and investment in the robotics space, with around $5 billion coming in from nearly 400 private deals. 

By 2030, analysts at the audit and consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) estimate robotics and artificial intelligence will have a $15.7 trillion impact on global GDP.

We’ve already seen robotics and AI stocks exploding in the early stages of this boom market…

In the next decade, anyone who participates in the economy with their dollars in any way will feel the effects of robotics and artificial intelligence in their daily life — from the way they shop to their work to their home life. 

Even on a personal level, robotics and AI applications will mesh with our minute-by-minute lives.

Which is why we need to take action today.

Win-Win

To capture overall market growth of a massive trend like robotics and AI, investing in an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is often a prudent idea.

In sum, ETFs invest in companies that stand to benefit from the rapid adoption and utilization of components within a trend. They operate like mutual funds and contain a “basket” of stocks. In this case, that basket contains robotics and AI stocks.

But, unlike mutual funds, ETFs can be bought and sold on the open stock market through your standard brokerage account (i.e. retail trading) — another huge advantage.

The following ETF is our favorite recommendation from this space: The Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (BOTZ).

This fund invests in industrial robotics companies, non-industrial robotics, and autonomous vehicle companies.

When we’re talking about trends and anticipating booming markets, it’s always best to establish a base of safe assets.

By buying BOTZ today, we get a huge win-win: huge growth potential, plus the “safety in numbers” we get from a diversified group of AI and robotics stocks. That means you get to benefit from the upside of the trend while limiting your downside.
