Sprott Inc. announced the launch of the Sprott Rare Earths Ex-China ETF (Nasdaq: REXC), the only ETF providing focused exposure to rare earths companies outside of China. Rare earth elements are critical inputs for advanced technologies across defense systems, artificial intelligence, data centers, semiconductors, electric vehicles and energy infrastructure. With China dominating global rare earths mining, refining and magnet production ?
and increasingly using that dominance as a geopolitical lever ? secure, diversified supply chains have become a national security priority for the U.S. and its allies. The Sprott Rare Earths Ex-China ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of the Nasdaq Sprott Rare Earths Ex-China Index (NSREXC) by investing at least 80% of its total assets in securities of the Index.
The Index is designed to track the performance of global companies engaged in the mining, separation, refining and production of rare earth elements, while excluding companies domiciled in or primarily operating in China. REXC joins the Sprott Critical Materials ETF suite, which provides pure-play exposure to rare earths, uranium, copper, lithium and nickel miners.
