Uranium ETF
LIT invests across the full lithium cycle, from mining and refining the metal through battery production, providing exposure to companies positioned to benefit from the growing adoption of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles and energy storage systems.
COPX provides investors access to a range of companies involved in the copper mining industry, including those engaged in exploration, extraction, processing, and refining of copper.
EART seeks to invest in companies producing rare earth components, metals, and other critical materials essential to the expansion of technologies such as electric vehicles, energy storage, robotics, and radar systems.
URA can complement commodity allocations by providing targeted exposure to the global uranium and nuclear value chain, rather than diversified energy conglomerates. This focused approach may capture the convergence of structural tailwinds poised to reshape the nuclear and clean energy landscapes, from a widening uranium supply deficit to surging baseload power demand tied to electrification and AI data center expansion.
As global attitudes toward nuclear energy shift, URA offers a forward-looking vehicle to access the potential growth underpinning the nuclear renaissance.
In 2025, global uranium demand reached 68,920 tonnes, fueling 438 operable reactors worldwide. With another 79 reactors under construction and hundreds more proposed, demand is set to climb further in the years ahead, creating opportunity for uranium miners and reactor manufacturers1
Nuclear energy is a dependable and clean power source which emits zero direct emissions: capable of generating maximum power output nearly 92% of the time.2
In a single trade, URA delivers efficient access to a basket of companies involved in mining uranium and producing nuclear components.

What is Premium/Discount Chart?
The Premium/Discount chart demonstrates the difference between the daily market price of shares of the Fund and the Fund's net asset value (NAV). The vertical axis of the chart shows the premium or discount of the daily market price as a percentage of the NAV. The horizontal axis shows each trading day in the time period, and each data point in the chart represents the Premium/Discount on that day. The data presented in the chart and table above represent past performance and cannot be used to predict future results.
How can the Fund trade at a premium/discount to its NAV?
The primary explanation is that timing discrepancies can arise between the NAV and the trading price of the Fund. Since shares of the Fund trade on the open market, prices are affected by the constant flow of information received by investors, corporations and financial institutions. Depending on how this changing information affects investor sentiment, shares of the Fund may deviate slightly from the value of the Fund's underlying assets. The NAV of the Fund is only calculated once a day (normally at 4:00 p.m. eastern time). As a result, shareholders may pay more than NAV when they buy Fund shares and receive less than NAV when they sell those shares, because shares are purchased and sold at current market prices. However, due to the creation and redemption process that is unique to ETFs, market makers are able to minimize these deviations from NAV by taking advantage of arbitrage opportunities.
What causes these time discrepancies?
Close of Trading Times. Although both the NAV and the daily market price of the Fund are generally calculated based on prices at the closing time of the exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. eastern time), slight differences in this timing may cause discrepancies.
Time of Last Trade. Trading of Global X funds generally takes place during normal trading hours (9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. eastern time). However, it is important to note that the last trade - from which the closing price is determined - may not occur at exactly 4:00 p.m. eastern time. Therefore, changing market sentiment during the time difference may cause the NAV to deviate from the closing price.
International Holdings. The premiums and discounts for funds with significant holdings in international markets may be less accurate due to the different closing times of various international markets. Because the Funds trade during U.S. market hours while the underlying securities may not, the time lapse between the markets can result in differences between the NAV and the trading price.
