It tracks the S-Network Space Index, focusing on companies deriving significant revenue from space-related activities. With a possible SpaceX IPO in 2026, predicted with a 93% chance by year-end, investors anticipate further gains.

Despite recent pullbacks in some holdings, UFO has gained 103% over the past year, with 11% year-to-date in 2026. The SpaceX IPO filing might boost the sector, potentially adding a major player valued around $1.75 trillion.
