What is lithium used for?
Lithium has many industrial applications. It goes into glass and ceramics to make them more heat resistant. When mixed with aluminium, it lowers its density but increases its stiffness. And it is used in medications to treat depressive and bipolar disorders.
Seen as crucial to a transition to greener energy, lithium has also been increasingly used in lithium disposable batteries and lithium-ion rechargeable batteries by manufacturers. These batteries are used in electric vehicles (EVs), mobile devices and as renewable energy storage.
Demand for lithium is growing fast. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the amount of EVs (excluding two/three wheelers) will rise from 11 million in 2020 to almost 145 million by 2030.
Which companies make up LIT ETF?
As of March 2022, there are 42 holdings within the LIT ETF, including Tesla, BYD, Minerals Resources, Samsung and Pilbara Minerals.
See the complete list of the LIT ETF holdings.
Is LIT actively managed?
Yes, LIT is actively managed and rebalanced by Global X.
Can you invest in lithium on a commodities exchange?
No. Unlike other industrial metals such as gold, palladium, copper and aluminium, lithium has no exchange-traded futures and cannot be traded as a commodity.
Is LIT the best way to invest in lithium?
This depends on whether you want to purchase shares in companies that process or mine lithium individually. If you do, LIT may not be the option for you.
However, if you want exposure to a wide variety of lithium companies without needing to buy a pile of individual stocks, LIT may be an appropriate addition to your portfolio.
LIT has high growth potential as lithium is seen by experts as necessary for a cleaner, greener future.
