Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

SETMCSprott Critical Materials ETF

WDIGCWisdomTree Efficient Rare Earth Plus Strategic Metals Fund

In short

SETM Most funds in this corner pick a lane: lithium, or rare earths. SETM tracks an index built to span the wider critical-materials complex, roughly 160 miners and processors in a single basket.

WDIG No data

Stated mandate

SETM SETM seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total-return performance of the Nasdaq Sprott Critical Materials Index.

WDIG No data

Why people hold it

  • SETM Peers narrow to one metal (ILIT for lithium, REMX and EART for rare earths). SETM holds roughly 160 miners and processors across the theme, in one rules-based index.
  • The 0.65% fee lands right at the middle of the critical-materials pack. Breadth here does not carry a premium price tag.
  • Real size for a niche theme, with regular daily volume behind it. That tends to mean easier fills than the thinnest shelves in mining ETFs.
  • Fully index-driven: the fund aims to match the Nasdaq Sprott Critical Materials Index before fees, so the holdings follow a published rulebook rather than a manager's call.

WDIG No data

Worth knowing

  • SETM Mining exposure comes cheaper elsewhere in the group: PICK runs 0.39%, REMX 0.53%. The extra basis points buy Sprott's particular definition of critical materials.
  • Miner shares move with commodity prices and government policy, so a single-theme equity basket can swing hard in both directions.
  • Income is not the job here. Distributions arrive annually or semiannually, not on a monthly rhythm.
