ProcureAM's Space ETF (NYSE Arca: UFO) Takes Off
April 11, 2019--Firm's inaugural ETF aims to offer investors pure-play exposure to multibillion-dollar space industry
Exchange-traded product (ETP) issuer ProcureAM, a wholly owned subsidiary of Procure Holdings, LLC, is boldly going where no one has gone before with the launch of the Procure Space ETF (NYSE Arca: UFO)-the world's first global ETF to give investors pure-play access to the expanding space industry.
UFO tracks (before fees and expenses) the S-Network Space Index, which focuses on companies that are significantly engaged in space-related activities. Index constituents span multiple industries, including satellite-based consumer products and services, rocket and satellite manufacturing, space technology hardware, and space-based imagery and intelligence services. Approximately 80 percent of companies in the index derive the majority of revenues directly from their involvement in the space industry, enabling investors to potentially capture this growing segment of the global economy.
