Investing in rare earth exposure via Sprott’s ex-China ETF

The Sprott Rare Earths Ex-China ETF (REXC) targets companies domiciled outside China and the United States, aiming to align with supply chain decoupling efforts.

ETF Trends highlights rare earths as increasingly valuable for countries seeking to reduce reliance on China’s dominant position in the rare earth supply chain, including through new critical mineral and battery projects.

The outlet points to long-term demand drivers spanning multiple end markets, including AI-related manufacturing needs such as semiconductors and magnets, energy uses like wind turbines and nuclear applications, and defense requirements for drones, missile guidance systems, and night vision equipment.

Within that context, ETF Trends notes that investors looking for rare earth exposure may consider the Sprott Rare Earths Ex-China ETF (REXC), which invests in companies domiciled outside of China and the United States.

The piece argues the fund’s approach could benefit from ongoing efforts to amplify supply chains as countries work to decouple from China, supported by the broad set of industries that use rare earths.
