Bill Gates April 2014 – Anniversary Letter
“Today though, I am thinking much more about Microsoft's future than its
past. I believe computing will evolve faster in the next 10 years than it ever
has before. We already live in a multi-platform world, and computing will
become even more pervasive. We are nearing the point where computers
and robots will be able to see, move, and interact naturally, unlocking many
new applications and empowering people even more.”

Industrial Robots have been
around for years and
automation is not a new
concept.
Most manufacturing in the
last century has been “fixed
automation” around the
dull, dirty and dangerous
tasks.
Due to technological
limitations, cost and the
effort required to structure
the environment to suit the
tool, traditional industrial
robots have penetrated only
an estimated 10% of the
manufacturing domain.

12. Robotics is a Global trend
• Robots are going
global unlike the cheap
labour outsourcing era
which was pioneered
by China and other
EMs.
• In the developed world
USA is doing the best
job embracing the
robots revolution.
• Surprisingly Japan is
the worst.

Gavekal Data/Macrobond
An increasing number of
companies are finding
robotics a cost-effective
solution to their production
and service needs.
Robots are becoming
cheaper, more productive,
and more sophisticed while
the cost of human labour
continues to rise.
13
15. Convergence of Robot costs and wages
China wages increased 500%
since 2000 and are expected
to continue at 18% per
annum.
Robotics and automation
can boost the productivity of
human labour, reducing unit
output costs through scale
production as well as cost-
effective highly precise and
sophisticated production.
16. A labour substitute is mandatory
The world is aging causing
the traditional working age
population to shrink.
That process has already
started in Japan and EU
China could see its working
age population contract as
early as 2020.
Even India is expected to
experience this trend by
2045.
These 5 regions produce
approximately 70% of the
world’s output.

24. Part 4 – ROBO-STOX UCITS Compliant Index
• This index is global, deliberately broad across the industry and built for the long term which
reflects the early stages of the robotics and automation industry
• Including all players in a proportionate and equally weighted fashion ensures that we capture
the overall growth trend while minimizing company-specific risk.

25. Equal weighing approach across two tiers
Bellwether Non-Bellwether
Index made up of “bellwether” stocks (40%) and
“non-bellwether” stocks (60%)
Bellwether companies are well established leading
companies, whose core business is directly related to
robotics and automation.
Non-bellwether companies have a distinct portion of
their business and revenue in robotics and
automation and have the potential to grow through
innovation and/or market adoption of their products
and/or services.
This approach ensure the index provides exposure to
companies in the early stages of new innovation and
technologies as well as the more established players.
The 40/60 weighting results in each bellwether
having roughly twice the weight of each non-
bellwether
The index then weights each of its constituents on an
equally weighted basis, avoiding the large
capitalisation and “buy high, sell low” biases of
market capitalisation indices
