Our read on REXC
CRare earths, with China screened out. REXC tracks a Nasdaq index built around rare earth miners and processors outside China, the focused cut of Sprott's critical-materials lineup.
The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Nasdaq Sprott Rare Earths Ex-China Index.
Why people hold it
- The screen is the whole idea: it tracks the Nasdaq Sprott Rare Earths Ex-China Index, making it a direct expression of the non-China supply chain rather than the sector at large.
- Plain plumbing. A standard 1940 Act index fund following a published Nasdaq benchmark: no leverage, no derivatives overlay, no active stock picking.
- Built by a metals-and-mining specialist house. REXC is the narrow rare earths cut of the same shelf that holds Sprott's broader critical materials fund, SETM.
Worth knowing
- The fee is 0.65% a year, matching the typical critical-materials fund, while wider-net rare earth peers REMX and EART list lower expense ratios.
- Launched in 2026, so there is only a short record to judge how tightly it follows its index or how it trades under stress.
- Rare earths is a narrow, policy-driven corner of mining, and the ex-China rule shrinks the pool further, so a few names and jurisdictions can drive the ride.
