COPJDSprott Junior Copper Miners ETF

FITEAState Street SPDR S&P Kensho Future Security ETF

In short

COPJ Most copper ETFs buy the giants already digging. COPJ goes upstream to the juniors: roughly 70 explorers and development-stage miners, picked by a Sprott-built Nasdaq index rather than a manager's hunches.

FITE Most "security" funds mean cybersecurity. FITE reads the word wider: cyber plus border security, robotics, drones, space, wearables and AR/VR, bundled into one global index basket since 2017.

Stated mandate

COPJ The fund targets small copper miners in exploration and development stages, seeking exposure to their potential revenue and asset growth. Before fees and expenses, it seeks returns generally corresponding to the Nasdaq Sprott Junior Copper Miners Index.

FITE The fund seeks to track the S&P Kensho Future Security Index, targeting companies whose products and services support future security through areas such as cybersecurity, border security, robotics, drones, space, wearables, and virtual or augmented reality.

Why people hold it

  • COPJ A genuine pure play on copper's early end. The index screens for small explorers and development-stage names, not the diversified majors that anchor broader copper funds.sprott.com
  • Rules-based exposure: holdings follow the published Nasdaq Sprott Junior Copper Miners Index, so what goes in and out is set by methodology, not discretion.
  • Roughly 70 names spread the single-mine risk that comes with junior mining, where one permit or drill result can decide a company.
  • Sits at the small end of Sprott's copper shelf, with sibling COPP covering the larger producers.
  • FITE One theme, many fronts: cybersecurity, border security, robotics, drones, space, wearables and virtual/augmented reality all sit inside the same index.ssga.com
  • A 0.45% fee undercuts the typical global thematic fund, and it comes from State Street's SPDR lineup rather than a one-fund boutique.
  • Live since 2017, so it has traded through a full cycle of thematic hype and hangover instead of arriving on a back-test.
  • Roughly 80 names spread across sectors and countries, so no single defense contractor or chipmaker steers the whole portfolio.ssga.com

Worth knowing

  • COPJ The 0.75% expense ratio runs above the copper miner group's median, and broader peers like COPX and ICOP list lower fees.
  • Juniors are often pre-revenue: value hangs on drilling, permits and financing, so moves are wider than large-cap copper in both directions.
  • A smaller, moderately traded fund with occasional (annual or semiannual) distributions, not a monthly income stream.
  • FITE Thinly traded next to broad index funds, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads at the moment you transact.
  • Small by SPDR standards. Niche thematic funds lean on sustained investor interest to hold their scale.
  • "Security" is drawn by index rules, so wearables and AR headset makers land beside the cyber and border names.
