Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

ARKXCARK Space & Defense Innovation ETF

DIPRCCorgi Space & Satellite Communications ETF

In short

ARKX ARK's only space fund, and one of the rare ones in its niche run by stock pickers instead of an index. Roughly 40 global names spanning rockets, the technology that makes them work, and the companies that quietly cash in.

DIPR No data

Stated mandate

ARKX The fund seeks long-term capital growth by actively investing mainly in domestic and foreign equity securities of companies involved in space and defense innovation, including aerospace, enabling technologies, and aerospace beneficiaries.

DIPR No data

Why people hold it

  • ARKX Actively managed rather than index-tracked: ARK's team hand-picks roughly 40 names instead of buying whatever screens as 'space'.ark-funds.com
  • The mandate reaches past rocket builders to enabling technologies and aerospace beneficiaries, companies that profit from orbit without ever leaving the ground.
  • Global by charter, holding both US and foreign shares, so the theme isn't capped at American launch providers and defense primes.
  • Running since 2021 and actively traded at a decent size, which puts it in the upper half of the space-fund group on the practical stuff.

DIPR No data

Worth knowing

  • ARKX The 0.75% fee sits right at the median for space funds and above index-based rivals such as ROKT (0.45%) and ORBX (0.50%).
  • Roughly 40 holdings plus a human making the calls means single positions and ARK's stock-picking judgment both carry real weight here.
  • The stated goal is long-term capital growth, not income; the fund has not been making regular distributions.
