Procure Space ETF 2026 Update
Number of Holdings: 52
Recent Performance & Market Sentiment
This space fund saw a 45% to 65% return in 2025 (depending on the measurement window), significantly outperforming the S&P 500 and its main rival, the ARK Space Exploration & Innovation ETF (ARKX). This was driven by the “pure-play” nature of its holdings—specifically companies like AST SpaceMobile and Rocket Lab, which saw parabolic moves and a touch of mania over the last 18 months.
As of early March 2026, the fund is seeing a slight technical correction after hitting a multi-year high of $48.66 in late January. However, net inflows remain strong, with over $150 million in new capital entering the fund since the start of 2025.
Key Portfolio Shifts (2025–2026)
UFO rebalances quarterly, and the most recent shifts highlight a clear strategy: exit the “Old Guard” and enter the “Launch & Infrastructure” era.
- New Additions: Following their summer 2025 IPOs, Firefly Aerospace and Voyager Technologies (the company behind the Starlab space station) were added with significant weightings.
- Rotation Away from Defense: The fund has reduced its exposure to legacy giants like Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. While these remain in the fund, their “tier-weighted” influence has been dialed back to make room for more volatile, high-growth names.
- The “SpaceX” Proxy: While SpaceX remains private, UFO has increased its weight in companies that are direct beneficiaries of the SpaceX ecosystem or are positioning themselves as the only viable competitors (like MDA Space and Rocket Lab).
