Already possible to buy by-proxy exposure to spot uranium through Yellowcake Plc (LSE: YCA).
However those wishing to play the uranium supply deficit, and nuclear trend are currently unable to access uranium mining stocks trading on LSE and NYSE through Freetrade.
Would the platform team consider making the following stocks available.
Tickers & Name:
LSE: KAP - Kazatomprom - World’s largest uranium miner, operating in Kazakstan trading in London.
NYSE: CCJ - Cameco - Operator two most productives Uranium mines, globally McArthur River and Cigar Lake in Canada’s athabasca basin. Nb. Both on care and maintenance.
NYSE: DNN - Denion Mines - Junior minor, with excellent management and advisors.
NYSE: UUUU - Energy Fuels - Junior US minor with sound management and permits on T1 deposits in US lower 48.
NYSE: UEC - Junior US minor with strong board of industry insiders, permits on T1 deposits in lower 48 and central America.
NYSE: NXE - Next Gen Energy - Canadian junior miner with excellent deposits.
Please submit a request for each stock individually. Bulk requests may as well be “all the stocks” as they bypass the voting system. The voting system exists to help :freetrade: prioritise requests and judge what to add. It would be ludicrous, I think, to submit a request for all retail companies. You may feel that this bulk request is somehow more justifiable than that, but the same principle applies.
Problem with overseas ETFs is that as collective investment schemes (CIS) they need to be UCITS compliant, non-EU ETFs are typically not.
Specific to the uranium sector, I am put off ETFs here as there is a fair amount of junk out there. So would rather concentrate my picks across companies with quality management, permitted access to good geologies and sound balance sheets.
I am very fond of ETFs and they constitute the bulk of my portfolio ~90%. However, in this very particular instance I believe there is a better way to fulfil the exposure profile I want.
PS. If you did want access to US ETFs one strategy is to buy a 1x levered CFD (ie. an unleveraged CFD) through a CFD trading platform.
Is there any chance of more stocks being added? Particularly:
U308 Corp UWEFF
Fusion Energy Metals FMC FDCFF
Fission Uranium Corp 0UW4
Paladin Energy PALAF
Denison Mines Corp DNN
Deep Yellow DYL
Peninsula Energy PENMF
Uranium Energy Corp UEC
Toro Energy TOE

FT can’t deal you OTC tickers or ASX names, I use IBKR for international investing. I really just have my ISA here.
Two words of caution:
This is no longer the ground floor for the Uranium trade
Know what you’re buying a why. A lot of names in the sector are trash, and you’re relying on someone being more desperate to get U exposure and less clued up on the sector to buy it off you before the tide turns.
