The Tema Space Innovators ETF (NASA) initially attracted investors by offering direct exposure to SpaceX through a special-purpose vehicle before SpaceX's IPO in June 2026. Once SpaceX went public, the ETF's unique access premium vanished, and SpaceX shares fluctuated, causing the ETF to drop about 29% from June to mid-August. Now, SpaceX represents only about 7% of the fund, with Rocket Lab as the largest holding at 11%, alongside 38 other space-related companies spanning launch, satellite broadband, earth imaging, and national security sectors. The fund provides diversified exposure to a volatile but growing space industry, suitable for investors seeking broad thematic space exposure despite the 0.75% expense ratio. Investors focused solely on SpaceX might prefer direct stock ownership to avoid the fund fee.
