Investors Hot for Cold Play in Space
By ProcureAM Research
There may not be any kiss cams on the International Space Station yet, but cold is playing a potential growth opportunity within the space economy. The cool environment of space has been highlighted as a plus for specialized manufacturing and research applications. Now space is being viewed as an optimal location for data centers.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications have exploded, along with the need for data centers to accommodate AI usage. Data centers occupy a large footprint, require massive energy volumes, and generate excessive heat. Space and moon options for data centers offer several advantages including:
- The cold and vacuum of space can be conducive to quantum computing by reducing the need for energy intensive cooling systems.
- Unconstrained real estate is currently available both on the moon and in outer space.
- Energy efficiency is another plus with access to solar energy.
Science fiction concepts are now becoming reality via lower launch costs and private and government spending. New names are now emerging as important players within the industry:
- Companies like Rocket Lab* are making launches common occurrences.
- Intuitive Machines* is focused on delivering payloads to the moon; collecting, processing, and interpreting space-based data; and providing infrastructure as a service for lunar systems.
- Redwire* seeks to deliver reliable, economical, and sustainable space infrastructure.
- ispace* has a vision to enable a human presence on the moon by developing water resources.
- Avio* is focused on space propulsion for launching payloads in earth orbit.

Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
Aerospace and defense companies can be significantly affected by government aerospace and defense regulation and spending policies. The exploration of space by private industry and the harvesting of space assets is a business based in future and is witnessing new entrants into the market. Investments in the Fund will be riskier than traditional investments in established industry sectors. The Fund is considered to be concentrated in securities of companies that operate or utilize satellites which are subject to manufacturing delays, launch delays or failures, and operational and environmental risks that could limit their ability to utilize the satellites needed to deliver services to customers. Investing in foreign securities are volatile, harder to price, and less liquid than U.S. securities. Securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies may experience much more price volatility, greater spreads between their bid and ask prices and significantly lower trading volumes than securities issued by large, more established companies. The Fund is not actively managed so it would not take defensive positions in declining markets unless such positions are reflected in the underlying index. Please refer to the summary prospectus for a more detailed explanation of the Funds’ principal risks. It is not possible to invest in an index.
