How do I invest in uranium ETFs?

Whether nuclear power plants or nuclear weaponry, nuclear power generation is mostly created with isotopes of the naturally occurring metal uranium. It is the only naturally occurring nuclide with which a self-sustaining nuclear fission chain reaction is possible. The energy released from nuclear fission produces either electricity or destruction.

The nuclear fuel uranium is mined like other metals. Depending on the year, the quantities extracted are about 15 times the world's gold production. Major producing countries are Australia, Canada, Russia, Niger, Namibia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, South Africa and the USA. The countries with the largest reserves are said to be Australia, Canada and Kazakhstan. Uranium is processed by power plant operators and weapons producers. The largest consumers of uranium are the USA, France, Russia, China, South Korea and Ukraine.

Due to political interests, many large companies involved in the uranium business are not tradable on the stock exchange, being state-owned instead. Companies listed on the stock exchange that extract, process and also reprocess uranium can be invested in via ETFs.

In our investment guide you will find all ETFs that allow you to invest in uranium companies.
