Our read on EART
BRare earths are the headline, but the basket runs wider: ten critical-material categories, from copper and lithium to cobalt and carbon fiber, screened so miners must earn at least half their revenue from the stuff.
The fund seeks exposure to companies producing rare-earth components, metals, and other raw or composite materials needed for expanding critical technologies, including electric vehicles, energy storage, robotics, and radar systems.
Why people hold it
- Costs 0.59% a year, below the typical fee in its critical-materials peer group.
- Purity rule with teeth: a company needs 50% of revenue from the ten materials, so conglomerates with a lithium side hustle stay out.assets.globalxetfs.com
- Caps each name at 4% and floors it at 0.3%, reset twice a year, so one giant miner cannot swallow a roughly 50-stock portfolio.assets.globalxetfs.com
- Global mandate covering miners and processors wherever they list, and one of the stronger builds in its critical-materials peer group.
Worth knowing
- Rare earths share the basket with copper, lithium, nickel and platinum group metals, so broad commodity cycles move it as much as any rare-earth squeeze.assets.globalxetfs.com
- A small fund with light volume next to the category's giants, which can mean wider spreads, especially near the open and close.
- Listed in 2022 as the Global X Disruptive Materials ETF (DMAT) and renamed in 2026, so the track record predates the rare-earth branding.globalxetfs.com
