The “All of the Above” Pick Is an ETF

The third report in the Kiyosaki space campaign is called “All of the Above: The Single Investment That Captures Every Winner in the Space Economy.” The pick is not a stock but a fund: the Tema Space Innovators ETF, which trades under the ticker NASA. The alternates are the Procure Space ETF (UFO) and the Ark Space and Defense Innovation ETF (ARKX).

An ETF is the honest answer to the campaign’s own framing. If you do not want to guess whether SpaceX, Blue Origin, or Rocket Lab wins, a diversified fund is the cleanest way to own the sector. The NASA ETF launched in late March 2026 and quickly became the largest pure-play space ETF, spiking earlier in the year on its large SpaceX position ahead of the IPO.

ETF Versus Closed-End Fund: A Useful Distinction

One of the genuinely valuable points in the space-fund discussion is the difference between an ETF and a closed-end fund. Closed-end funds that held private space companies traded for a long time at enormous premiums to what they actually owned. An ETF’s price tracks the real value of its holdings, so you are paying for the assets rather than for the excitement around the assets.

That distinction saved a lot of investors from overpaying for space exposure through premium-priced closed-end vehicles. We flagged this same point in the INI XPanse space-stocks explainer.

What to Watch For

The weakness in the “one fund owns everything” pitch is that a space ETF today is really a bet on SpaceX. SpaceX does more than half of global launches and roughly 85 percent of U.S. launches, and it is the single largest holding in the major space funds. That is concentration risk wearing a diversification label.

The “early access to private companies at pre-IPO prices” angle is also largely stale now that SpaceX and most of the interesting private space names have already gone public. We covered that shift in our Launch Cheat Code teardown.

The bottom line: a space ETF is a sensible way to hold the sector if you believe in it, but treat it as a public-markets bet on SpaceX plus a supporting cast, not as a private-company lottery ticket.
