Default Lynas Corp and JP Morgan Launch Rare Earths ETF

JP Morgan and Lynas Behind New Rare Earth Metal ETF

by admin on May 3, 2010

We received a hat tip this morning from a MetalMiner reader that the first rare earth ETF, REE Fund, has received approval from the Swiss Financial Market Authority, FINMA this morning. The fund will open on May 31 of this year and has received this approval to operate only in Switzerland. It will invest in firms involved with rare earth metal mining, refining and manufacturing, according to the fund?s website. Interestingly enough, the fund lists Lynas Corporation as a ?supportive member. Lynas Corporation, a publicly traded company, owns a rare earth deposit at Mt. Weld in Western Australia and is developing an Advanced Materials Plant for the processing of concentrates in Kuantan, Malaysia. JP Morgan made a $450m investment in Lynas back in November 2009 though it no longer is a "substantial holder" of Lynas stock. This announcement signifies to us that Rare Earth metals have hit mainstream ? if the finance folks have already developed a fund to speculate in these metals, we can assume that many believe the Rare Earth metal companies are poised for growth.
