Overview
The Global X Autonomous & Electric Vehicles ETF is a thematic fund issued by Global X Funds with $374 million in assets under management. It holds a C grade and ranks seventh among 17 peers in its category, placing it 372nd out of 458 tracked ETFs overall. The fund charges an expense ratio of 0.68%, which matches the category median, while offering a dividend yield of 0.63% that exceeds the peer average of 0.49%. Its portfolio is concentrated, with the top ten holdings representing 26.8% of assets and Intel Corporation serving as the largest single position at 5.0%.
The fund’s rating was upgraded from D to C on July 30, 2026, reflecting a shift in its standing. Over the past year, it delivered a return of 36.71%, outperforming the category median of 28.06%. This long-term strength contrasts with recent weakness, as the fund has declined 9.81% over three months and 0.37% over the last month. The current price of $34.76 sits at 52.7% of its 52-week range, indicating it is near the midpoint of its recent trading history. Performance data is available for only 3.0 years, limiting the historical context for these trends.
With a beta of 1.77, the fund exhibits high sensitivity to market movements, amplifying overall market volatility. This heightened risk is reflected in a 29.62% annualized volatility rating, which is classified as High. Despite this turbulence, the fund has generated a Sharpe ratio of 1.07, suggesting that returns have compensated for the risk taken. The maximum drawdown of -29.42% highlights the potential for significant temporary losses. Liquidity remains moderate, with an average daily volume of 53,707 shares and a bid-ask spread of 0.65%.

DRIV Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 0.65% and average daily volume is 54K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $374M provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: DRIV is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
