One ETF For The ENTIRE Energy Transition Megatrend?
When you look at the options that are available to investors, within the last couple years, we've launched a number of ETFs that provide individual exposure to mining companies. So, for example, if you want to access uranium miners, copper miners, lithium, nickel, and so on. One of the funds that has done really well, and I know it's one of your favorite funds, is our Sprat Critical Materials ETF, ticker SETM. This is a fund that gives broad-based exposure to pure play mining companies of up to nine different critical materials.
I know you've had a lot of conversations as you're out in the field. What's drawing advisers to SCTM? You're asking me about my favorite child right now. SCTM is a really cool ETF because advisers understand the value of having some uranium, having some copper, having some battery metals in there. We have a full litany of different battery metal solutions out there as well.
The problem advisors face is this is one and many themes they're trying to allocate capital to. So, many times I hear them say, "Why I have one line item on my balance sheet to take advantage of the energy transition or the energy addition movement that we're having out there. How do I profit from that?" So, many of our advisers, investors have participated as a consumer, right? They're getting electricity through solar panels or maybe they're buying an electric car, maybe they bought their first Tesla, but they haven't really participated as an investor.
And so, our whole suite of ETFs are really allowing investors to do that. And what's really cool about SETM is that it gives you exposure approximately to a third of the creation of energy which is predominantly through uranium for nuclear and silver for solar. There is some rare earth in there as well but those are really your exposure on the creation side. Then you have the movement or transmission of energy which is predominantly copper. Then you have the storage of energy which are all the different battery metals that we offer.
And so for an adviser, they can say, I have one ticket, one ETF, one line item, and I'm giving the full package, the full exposure, the full experience to my client and really encapsulating everything that's happening in that space right now. So yes, SCTM happens to be my favorite just because it's a very eloquent solution on how to participate in this space today.
