The space industry has been making out of this world moves in 2025.

Space activity has gone beyond exploration. We may have already reached the moon, but Mars and beyond is still on the table. Currently, communications, defense, and AI are taking up much of the air in the room. The Golden Dome is a hot topic, and firms are scrambling to be instrumental in its development. European countries have begun to increase their own defense spending and are looking inward to invest in local firms. Who knows which space company will be the next to breakout?
Predicting every move in a particular segment such as the space industry can be tricky. However, investing in a well-diversified thematic ETF like UFO is an option for investors looking for exposure to a wide range of space opportunities. The Procure Space ETF® has a broad range of constituents including domestic and international firms, established and new leading edge companies, and entities encompassing a broad range of revenue producing activities in the space industry.

Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund is also subject to the following risks: Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV and are not individually redeemed from the funds. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
Aerospace and defense companies can be significantly affected by government aerospace and defense regulation and spending policies. The exploration of space by private industry and the harvesting of space assets is a business based in future and is witnessing new entrants into the market. Investments in the Fund will be riskier than traditional investments in established industry sectors. The Fund is considered to be concentrated in securities of companies that operate or utilize satellites which are subject to manufacturing delays, launch delays or failures, and operational and environmental risks that could limit their ability to utilize the satellites needed to deliver services to customers. Investing in foreign securities are volatile, harder to price, and less liquid than U.S. securities. Securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies may experience much more price volatility, greater spreads between their bid and ask prices and significantly lower trading volumes than securities issued by large, more established companies. The Fund is not actively managed so it would not take defensive positions in declining markets unless such positions are reflected in the underlying index. Please refer to the summary prospectus for a more detailed explanation of the Funds’ principal risks. It is not possible to invest in an index.
