# Global X Eyes Space Surge With High-Conviction ORBX ETF

**Global X Management Company** has rolled out a new thematic fund aimed at capturing the fast-evolving space economy, launching the **Global X Space Tech ETF** (NASDAQ:ORBX).

**• Global X Space Tech ETF stock is at critical resistance. Why are ORBX shares at highs?**

The passively managed fund seeks to offer more targeted exposure to space-focused companies at a time when commercialization, from satellite data to reusable rockets, is accelerating.

The firm said the global space economy could approach $1 trillion in annual revenue over the next decade, driven by advancements in launch systems, satellite miniaturization and data analytics.

The ETF tracks the **Global X Space Tech Index**, focusing on "pure-play" companies that derive at least 50% of their revenue from space-related activities across both upstream and downstream segments.

**Key features of ORBX:**

-   Tracks the Global X Space Tech Index, targeting pure-play space companies.
-   Requires at least 50% revenue exposure to space-related segments.
-   Covers rocket systems, satellite tech, data services and space exploration.
-   Includes both upstream (launch, components) and downstream (telecom, data) activities.
-   New listings are reviewed semi-monthly, with quarterly reconstitution cycles.
-   Expense ratio is set at 0.50%.

According to **Pedro Palandrani,** the firm's head of product research and development, ORBX is designed to avoid the dilution seen in broader tech or aerospace ETFs by zeroing in on revenue-linked exposure to the space value chain.

The launch also comes as **new space-related IPOs**, including that of the much-hyped **SpaceX**, are expected to hit the market, potentially expanding the ETF's investable universe.

As of March 31, Global X managed $86.58 billion in assets.
