Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

FSPCCFirst Trust Bloomberg Space Economy ETF

ORBXCGlobal X Space Tech ETF

In short

FSPC No data

ORBX Space investing usually carries a 0.75% toll. ORBX charges 0.50% for a global basket of roughly 40 companies spanning launch systems, satellites, orbital transport and space tourism. The whole launchpad, not one slice of it.

Stated mandate

FSPC No data

ORBX ORBX seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Global X Space Tech Index. It invests in companies benefiting from commercialization of the global space economy across launch systems, space technology and components, orbital transport, satellite-enabled services, and space exploration or tourism.

Why people hold it

FSPC No data

  • ORBX At 0.50%, it undercuts the 0.75% sticker worn by UFO, ARKX and NASA. Same theme, smaller toll.
  • The index reaches across the whole stack: launch systems, space components, orbital transport, satellite-enabled services, exploration and tourism. Not a pure rocket bet.globalxetfs.com
  • Rules-based, index-tracked and global, holding roughly 40 names. That package lands in the upper tier of the small space-ETF field.

Worth knowing

FSPC No data

  • ORBX Concentration cuts both ways: about 40 stocks in one young industry, so swings run wider than a broad-market fund.
  • Launched in 2026, so there is little history to judge it by and the asset base is still building.
  • Income is not part of the design; this is a growth theme, not a payout sleeve.
