WisdomTree launches actively managed space-economy ETF WSPC
The WisdomTree Space Economy Fund has a 0.75% annual fee and is down since launch, even as SpaceX builds momentum after its $75 billion IPO.
MarketBeat Ratings highlights two newly launched space-focused ETFs, including the WisdomTree Space Economy Fund, WSPC, which launched about a month after SpaceX’s NASDAQ IPO. WSPC is an actively managed ETF designed to target companies across the space economy value chain, including businesses enabling access to orbit, generating intelligence, securing national interests, and building related technologies. The fund’s mandate spans launch vehicles, defense systems, and commercial applications, and it is positioned as a complement to a core equity portfolio for investors seeking additional exposure to aerospace and defense names.
The ETF’s portfolio includes 52 holdings spread across industrials, communications, IT, and materials stocks, with a global focus. MarketBeat Ratings notes that SpaceX-related exposure remains meaningful within the fund, with SpaceX as the top position at more than 12% of the portfolio, while the rest of the holdings are more evenly weighted.
Because WSPC is brand-new, the outlet says its assets under management and trading averages are still “minuscule,” making it effectively a speculative bet on whether the strategy gains traction. MarketBeat Ratings also points to WSPC’s 0.75% annual fee and says the fund is down since launch, though by a smaller margin than SpaceX itself.
