Matthias Knab, Opalesque: ARK Invest Europe announced the launch of the ARK Space &
Defence Innovation UCITS ETF. ARKX provides investors exposure to companies
transforming modern defence and space through advances in artificial intelligence,
robotics, and energy systems. It also enables European investors to gain direct access to
a UCITS-compliant strategy representing ARK's innovation-focussed approach to Space
and Defence investment, a strategy the firm has been running since 2021.
Key Takeaways:
- First actively managed, high-conviction Article 8 UCITS ETF in Europe focused on space and defence.
- Targets innovators in AI, robotics, energy, and space infrastructure, not traditional defence incumbents.
- Integrates strict ESG screening, excluding controversial weapons and fossil fuels.
- Listed on Deutsche Boerse Xetra from 29th Oct 2025, with other exchanges to follow.
- OCF: 0.75%.
In a market where the incumbent defence-focussed ETFs funds remain Article 6 and
track third party indices, ARKX represents the first high-conviction, actively-managed
UCITS ETF that is unconstrained by any index or benchmark and embeds strict ESG
screening criteria across Product Involvement, Controversies, and Governance in an
Article 8 format, meeting growing investor demand in Europe for innovation-focused
exposure to space and defence.
