How it works

Procure Space ETF, from ProcureAM, is an index fund. It tries to match the S-Network Space Index, before fees, rather than picking stocks. VettaFi, an unaffiliated firm, runs the index under fixed rules. At least 80% of the fund's net assets go to index companies earning at least half their revenue or profit from space-related work, such as satellite communications, satellite TV and radio, rocket and satellite manufacturing, ground equipment, and space imagery.

The index is global and includes companies of all sizes. As of January 30, 2026, U.S. companies made up about 72.9% of its components. Each stock's weight starts from company size, counting only freely traded shares, then is adjusted for how much of its revenue comes from space. As of December 31, 2025, the index was concentrated in satellite-technology companies. The fund is "non-diversified," so a few companies can carry heavy weight.

The fund need not hold every index stock. It may own a representative sample, substitute non-index stocks when rules or thin trading interfere, and trade ahead of scheduled index additions and removals. It uses no leverage or options. It may lend up to one-third of its assets to brokers for extra income; the roughly 13% held in cash as of July 31, 2026, is likely collateral from such loans.

What it really costs

  • UFO charges 0.75% a year, versus an average of 0.44% for the similar funds below (7th of 8, cheapest first).
  • Using the prospectus's standard example, $10,000 invested would cost about $77 in the first year and $930 over 10 years (assuming a 5% annual return).

In a retirement portfolio

RoleSatellite (higher risk)

UFO is a narrow, non-diversified fund that holds one theme, and its drops have been much deeper than the broad market's.

UFO could add a small stake in satellite, launch and space hardware companies, which broad stock funds hold only in small amounts. The trade-off is sharp swings. It launched in 2019, so it has no record from the 2008 crisis. In the 2020 COVID crash it fell 48% and took about 10 months to recover. In the 2022 bear market it fell 33% and took about 28 months to recover. 2022 was also its worst calendar year, at -25.9%. Its deepest drop was 50%, from June 2021 to October 2023, and it did not fully recover until July 2025. Selling during a slump could lock in heavy losses. Income is small: the yield over the past 12 months was 0.37% as of October 27, 2026, paid twice a year. The 0.75% fee would cost $930 over 10 years in the SEC's standard $10,000 example. Past results don't predict future ones, and a plan should look at the whole portfolio, not one fund.

Who it may suit — and who should look elsewhere

May suit

  • Investors who want a small, targeted stake in satellite and launch companies such as Viasat, EchoStar, AST SpaceMobile and Rocket Lab.
  • Investors who can hold through drops like its 50% fall from 2021 to 2023, which took until July 2025 to recover.
  • People comparing space funds who like an index that gives more weight to companies earning more of their revenue from space.

Look elsewhere if

  • Cost-focused investors: the 0.75% fee ranks 7th of 8 among similar funds, which average 0.44%. ROKT charges 0.45%.
  • Retirees who need income: the 12-month yield was 0.37% as of October 27, 2026, and the fund pays only twice a year.
  • Anyone who may need to sell soon: its beta was 1.86 as of October 27, 2026, so it tended to move almost twice as much as the market.

Questions investors ask

Does the UFO ETF own SpaceX?

Yes. As of July 31, 2026, Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) made up 3.8% of the fund, its seventh-largest holding. The larger holdings were Garmin (7.0%), Trimble (6.3%), Viasat (6.2%), Sirius XM (5.8%), EchoStar (4.2%) and AST SpaceMobile (4.0%). The fund held 64 stocks in all, and the top 10 made up about 48% of assets. That means a handful of companies drive much of its return.

What is UFO's expense ratio?

UFO's expense ratio is 0.75% a year, according to its prospectus filed February 24, 2026. All of it is the management fee, and there is no fee waiver. That ranks 7th of 8 among similar funds, which average 0.44%. In the SEC's standard example, $10,000 earning 5% a year would cost about $77 in the first year, $417 over five years and $930 over 10 years.

UFO vs ROKT: what's the difference?

ROKT, the SPDR S&P Kensho Final Frontiers ETF, is the closest match: about 35% of the two funds' holdings overlap. ROKT charges 0.45% a year, compared with 0.75% for UFO. Over the year through October 27, 2026, ROKT returned 28% and UFO returned 6.8%. Their average yearly returns over three years were close: 40.5% for ROKT and 41.1% for UFO. UFO is bigger, with $587 million in net assets as of July 31, 2026. ROKT had $248 million as of June 30, 2026.

Does UFO pay dividends?

Yes, but very little. UFO pays twice a year. Over the 12 months through October 27, 2026, it paid about $0.154 per share, a yield of 0.37%. The fund's goal is to track a space-industry index, not to produce income. Investors who want regular cash flow would get little from it, and the 0.75% fee is about twice the yield.

How has the Procure Space ETF performed?

Its returns have been uneven. Its prospectus shows an average return of 8.28% a year from its 2019 launch through December 31, 2025, and 10.55% a year over the five years to that date. Calendar-year returns ranged from -25.94% in 2022 to 67.94% in 2025. Over the year through October 27, 2026, it returned 6.8% at market price. Over the six months to that date, it fell 18.7%. Its worst quarter was a 35.02% loss in early 2020.
