Space ETFs or more individual shares for space industry

[Noobieofshares (Gary)]

Hello all, firstly I am a total noobie in the investment world and slowly learning the ropes so I do apologise if this has already been done or covered. Myself and a friend ( who invited me to join freetrade) would be interested in more of the space sector companies, I have noticed FREETRADE have a couple of companies but not that many, I also for the time being as I get used to investing, am only investing in the small figures. Will FREETRADE be getting more space sector companies in the future? And if so rough time span? Again apologies if I have done this wrong or put it in the wrong category. Cheers all

With the Virgin Galactic news, and Freetrade’s investment platform on the way and promising a vastly expanded stock universe, I thought I’d take the time to run through a topic that personally interests me. Space is the next frontier, and its fairly likely that we’re going to see advancements within our lifetime that were unthinkable to even our parents. I’ve broken up all the space-related stocks I…

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I did see that, it was good to see a comprehensive list of companies and I have seen some of them on freetrade, but a most are not. I did see about the UFO ETF? not being allowed due to legal issues ( although having the UFO would be really nice ). Ideally what I would like are the small independent up and coming companies on freetrade, get them when there just starting up and hope for them to make it big. Is there any plans for freetrade to add more from that list?

Highly unlikely for the foreseeable future considering the criteria (market cap & liquidity play a big role) for adding new stocks:

In the past few months, we added stocks based on market cap. We’re refocusing on the votes now, hence eg Purplebricks.

Freetrade Roadmap: Reloaded

There are approximately 3700 stocks. ETFs are not quite relevant because the majority does not comply with MiFID regulations and cannot be offered within the EU. Two thousand stocks can effectively be considered as “thousands”. My guess is that Freetrade will switch on most large/mid cap and liquid stocks, then expand depending on demand. Also, Adam may have referred to other markets, such as EU, Canada, Switzerland, HK, Japan and others; in fact, European stocks are already on track in the n…
