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.
UFO has outpaced XSPC over the year to date, posting a -3.60% total return against -39.49%. UFO has been the steadier holding, though — annualized volatility of 31.4% against 53.4% for XSPC. Figures are total returns: price change plus every distribution reinvested.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UFO | -3.60% | -27.34% | 31.4% | -2.72 | -3.49 | -27.3% |
| XSPC | -39.49% | -39.49% | 53.4% | -2.50 | -3.13 | -39.5% |
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 Jun 2026” measures every fund from June 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 Jun 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 Jun 2026) — higher is better. Max drawdown is the largest peak-to-trough total-return decline over the same window — shallower is better.

Figures quoted in this analysis are from its generation date and may lag the live snapshot table above, which always shows the latest data.
Overview
UFO and XSPC are both equity ETFs designed to capture exposure to space-industry companies, but they differ significantly in their asset bases and maturity. UFO tracks the S-Network Space Index and has $457M in assets; XSPC, a much newer fund launched 06/15/2026, holds only $1.75M. Neither fund prioritizes income — UFO's distribution rate is 0.04%, while XSPC does not report distributions.
How they differ
The fundamental difference is scale and operational history. UFO has been trading since 04/10/2019 and has accumulated $457M in assets, while XSPC is in its infancy with $1.75M.
UFO carries a 1.87 beta, indicating significantly higher sensitivity to broad market moves than the overall stock market — a reflection of the space sector's growth-stock tilt and volatility.
XSPC: Fits investors comfortable with emerging, thinly capitalized funds who want exposure to space companies in a newer vehicle and are willing to accept higher potential trading costs as a tradeoff for access to a different index mandate.
Key risks to know
- Thematic sector concentration risk: Both funds are narrowly focused on a single industry theme — space technology and services. Industry downturns, policy changes affecting space spending, or technical setbacks affecting major players can cascade across holdings. Verify potential overlap in underlying holdings.
- UFO's elevated market beta: With a beta of 1.87, UFO amplifies market moves sharply. A broad market decline would likely pull UFO down more steeply than the overall market, magnifying downside during sell-offs.
- XSPC's illiquidity and asset base risk: At $1.75M, XSPC carries material risk of fund closure if assets don't grow.
- Index tracking gap risk for UFO: As a passive index fund, UFO's performance depends entirely on the constituents and weightings of the S-Network Space Index. Changes to index rules or reconstitution can affect returns unexpectedly. Space-sector risk — concentration, volatility, and policy sensitivity — applies to both. Past performance does not predict future results.
