Unlike the Procure Space ETF, the fund from Cathie Wood's Ark Invest includes companies with lower direct exposure to space and, in some cases, stronger ties to adjacent sectors such as eVTOLs and defense.\n\"To my knowledge, UFO is the only pure play space ETF out there in the United States,\" Chanin told Benzinga. \"That's important to us because it has to be, our fund is called the Procure Space ETF. We have the trademark space ETF.\"\nAccording to Chanin, some 80% of the companies in the index tracked by UFO derive the majority of their revenue from space‑related businesses, activities, and services.\n\"It's taking into account companies that are actually doing space. They're actually making money from space. They're actually a space company.\"\nChanin acknowledged that one could make a broad argument that nearly any public company has some connection to space, but said investors seeking true pure‑play exposure want something more direct.\n\"Someone that wants to invest in space probably wants to invest in actual space companies.\"\nFor Procure, ensuring that most holdings generate the majority of their revenue from space is a defining advantage.\n\"Anyone can be cute and try to throw in a company and make and argument for why it's space but that doesn't make it space.”\nRead Also: EXCLUSIVE: SpaceX IPO Could Ignite These 5 Space Stocks — One Even Holds Private Shares Of Musk’s Company\nA look at the top holdings of the Procure Space ETF and the Ark Space & Defense Innovation ETFs could show some of the key differences and the focus on pure-play space companies by the older Procure fund.\nHere are the top 10 holdings of the Procure Space ETF:\nHere are the top 10 holdings of the Ark Space & Defense Innovation ETF:\nThe only stocks in the top 10 of both ETFs are Rocket Lab and Trimble. A look at the newer Ark fund shows more exposure to defense names like L3Harris and Kratos and also includes eVTOL company Archer in the top 10 holdings. Deere, which has some satellite technology, is also a top 10 holding and could be an example of a company with exposure to the space sector, but not a majority of revenue coming from the segment.\nRead Next: \nImage: Shutterstock","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.0","shortVersion":"4.36.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2595551007","isCrawlerRequest":true}
