How is Betashares Space Industry ETF managed – active or passive?
Betashares Space Industry ETF is passively managed: it follows an index and holds what that index holds, rather than relying on a manager's stock picks.
Among Global equity funds, active funds charge a median 0.99% a year and index funds 0.53%.
What will I pay in fees for RCKT?
RCKT charges a management fee of 0.57% a year, about $57 for every $10,000 invested. Only 34% of the 471 ASX ETFs we track charge more, and the median fee is 0.44%. Among Global equity funds, the median is 0.62%.
Lower-cost funds with a similar focus include VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (MOAT) at 0.49%, iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (IVE) at 0.32% and Betashares FTSE 100 ETF (F100) at 0.45%.
If you would rather have a manager choose the investments, active options such as Magellan Infra Fund (Currency Hedged) - Active ETF (MICH) at 1.05% and Lanyon Investment Fund Active ETF (LNYN) at 1.00% cost more.
The fee is taken from the fund's assets and is already reflected in its returns. You'll also pay brokerage when you buy or sell, and the bid-ask spread, which has averaged 0.33% for RCKT.
Does Betashares Space Industry ETF follow a theme?
No. Betashares Space Industry ETF is a broad equity fund: it aims to cover a wide slice of its market (Global) rather than one theme or sector.
What is under the hood of RCKT?
As at 2 Sept 2026, RCKT's ten largest holdings are Space Exploration Technologies (28.9%), Echostar Corp (10.5%), Ast Spacemobile Inc (9.5%), Viasat Inc (8.5%), Rocket Lab Corp (8.3%), Planet Labs Pbc (5.1%), Iridium Communications Inc (4.0%), Globalstar Inc (4.0%), Mda Space Ltd (3.9%) and Redwire Corp (2.3%). Together they make up 85.0% of the fund.
It follows an index. Most broad share indices weight companies by market size, so the largest companies take the biggest share; the exact rules for RCKT's index are in the issuer's PDS. Its top 10 weighting of 85.0% compares with 48.5% for similar funds.
How well has Betashares Space Industry ETF performed?
Based on its category, Betashares Space Industry ETF aims to grow your capital in line with the index it tracks.
RCKT doesn't have a full year of price history yet, so we can't judge its performance.
Tracking difference is the gap between a fund's return and its index's return. We don't hold index returns, so we can't measure it for RCKT; the issuer reports it in the monthly fact sheet. As a guide, a well-run index fund trails its index by about its fee, here 0.57% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
