Total returns
100% reinvested · ex-date convention. Period returns use this fixed assumption, independent of chart settings. YTD and 1Y are cumulative period returns; 3Y, 5Y, and 10Y are annualized. The shared Since-start window is annualized only when it covers at least one year.
GALX has lagged UFO over the year to date, posting a -19.34% total return against -3.60%. Figures are total returns: price change plus every distribution reinvested.

Total return with all distributions reinvested on the ex-dividend date (a modeling convention, not the cash-settlement date), split-adjusted, as of November 5, 2026. YTD and 1Y are cumulative period returns; 3Y, 5Y, and 10Y are annualized. The shared Since-start window is annualized only when it covers at least one year. “Since Jul 2026” measures every fund from July 16, 2026 — the start of shared available history — so all funds share one comparison window. Volatility is the annualized standard deviation of daily total returns over the shared window since Jul 2026. Sharpe and Sortino divide the annualized return in excess of the risk-free rate by, respectively, that volatility and the downside deviation (both over the shared window since Jul 2026) — higher is better. Max drawdown is the largest peak-to-trough total-return decline over the same window — shallower is better.

Quick verdict
GALX (VistaShares Space Supercycle® ETF) and UFO (Procure Space ETF) are both ETFs, but they take different approaches.
UFO has paid a 0.39% yield over the past 12 months. GALX has not yet established a full distribution history, so a comparable yield figure is not available.
They have different reference exposures: GALX is linked to Global space-economy value chain while UFO is linked to S-Network Space Index, which means their performance drivers differ.
UFO has $457M in assets vs $2.71M for GALX, but GALX only launched July 2026 — AUM comparisons will become more meaningful as it builds a track record.

Overview
GALX and UFO are both space-economy equity ETFs, but they pursue fundamentally different approaches to the same theme. GALX is an actively managed fund selecting from the global space value chain—launch systems, satellite infrastructure, communications, and enabling technologies. UFO is an index-tracking fund that follows the S-Network Space Index, capturing companies deriving significant revenue from space-related activities. The choice between them hinges on whether you prefer active stock selection or indexed exposure to this concentrated sector.
How they differ
The biggest difference is strategy: GALX is actively managed, giving its investment team discretion over which space-economy companies to hold, while UFO tracks a predefined index mechanically. Both charge 0.75%, so fees don't distinguish them—the cost you pay for GALX is the active manager's mandate and decision-making.
Second, scale and trading history diverge sharply. UFO's 1.87 indicates sensitivity to broad market swings is amplified relative to the overall stock market. Neither is a dividend vehicle; both target long-term capital appreciation in a volatile, emerging thematic space.
Who each is best for
GALX: Fits investors who value active management's discretion to select space-economy companies and who are comfortable with concentrated, illiquid holdings in a brand-new fund as the tradeoff for potential manager conviction.
Key risks to know
- Thematic concentration: Both funds are heavily concentrated in a single theme—the space economy—which is cyclical, dependent on government spending and commercial adoption, and still in early growth stages. A sustained pullback in space-budget priorities or satellite launch demand could pressure both holdings.
- UFO's market sensitivity: With a beta of 1.87, UFO exhibits amplified sensitivity to broad equity-market movements. This magnified correlation exposes investors to timing risk and reinvestment challenges during volatile market periods.
- Active-management style risk (GALX): Active selection in an early-stage, thinly traded thematic space means manager conviction bets may diverge materially from the broader space-economy index. UFO's passive approach eliminates this source of variation but accepts whatever the index holds.
- Single-industry exposure: Both funds focus narrowly on space-economy revenues, meaning neither provides a hedge against weakness in government spending, commercial satellite adoption, or launch-service demand. Their holdings likely overlap in a limited set of publicly traded space-economy companies. Both funds carry concentrated thematic risk that warrants a small portfolio allocation, and past performance does not predict future results.
