For any other space lovers out there that are feeling down about not being able to get into SpaceX, I’ve got something else to throw your interplanetary currency tokens at… State Street have just launched a Final Frontiers ETF (XKFF) :slight_smile: :rocket:

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-final-frontier-has-its-own-etf-2018-10-24-7464746

The new ETF holds 31 stocks, nearly 69 percent of which are aerospace and defense stocks. XKFF’s top 10 holdings include Dow components Boeing Co. and United Technologies Inc. Fund fees are 0.45 percent per year for the new fund.

I’ve submitted the request for it to be added when US products are available :+1:

I really want that. Early suggestion that the short description is ‘may the force be with you’

Sounds interesting. I tried to find their product page but it can only be found via a search engine and then you find none of the document links work :confused:

Maybe the description should be more neutral? Just in case someone thinks space doesn’t exist.

They have removed the link I shared now. Anyway searched again and found:

I think it’s unlikely to make it over the pond soon the way this is going as they’ll need a Key Information Document and they have yet to create a official Product Page.

This is the first time I’ve heard about this ETF. This is a great find, thank you.
I’m a massive fan of space. The deep sea exploration is a bonus; I’ll definitely look into this one. I was looking into different space ideas a few years back but didn’t see anything to my liking.

To stop a possible Star Trek vs Star Wars conflict maybe go for “Use the Schwartz” or “smeghead”
