Invest in Sweden's first space fund

Christer Fuglesang is known as the first Swede in space. Now he is also a partner in the first thematic space fund, Space Fund, which is a daily traded equity fund. With his experience and expertise, he contributes knowledge about the industry of the future, which is growing at rocket speed.

When we talk about space as the industry of the future, it's easy to focus on the possibilities of exploring places beyond our own planet. But in reality, it’s just as much – if not more – about how we can utilize space resources here on Earth.

"Most of us aren’t aware of how dependent we are on space and satellite technology in our daily lives. The majority of the space sector today consists of satellites and the essential data they provide. Satellite data is used in everything from GPS navigation to weather forecasts. In the future, we’ll be able to use it to accelerate critical climate work and ensure that the entire world has access to the internet," says Christer Fuglesang, partner at Ace Fonder. Why it’s time to invest in the space sector in 2023

The space industry is currently undergoing a paradigm shift, and growth is happening at rocket speed. According to several analyses, the space sector will grow from a few hundred billion US dollars today to over a trillion US dollars in annual revenue by 2040.

Invest in Humanity's Future

"The landscape is changing drastically, and growth is strong, even though the space sector is already well-established. Privatization of the space sector has made it possible to realize ideas that have existed for a long time but couldn’t be executed due to enormous costs. We are looking at everything from projects that are already market-ready to visionary areas like space tourism, solar energy from space, and asteroid mining." No Competitors

Currently, there are no competitors; Space Fund is the only Swedish fund focusing on space. The fund will primarily invest globally in stocks and stock-related transferable securities issued by companies operating in the space industry and producing goods or services related to the space industry.

"It’s incredibly exciting to be part of this journey as a space expert. I have the opportunity to contribute my expertise from ESA as well as Saab and KTH, where I am a professor and advisor. All the technology we learn from space research can also be applied to future entrepreneurship. In addition to my other commitments, I’m also involved in the company I.S.A.A.C., whose business idea is to help companies apply and integrate space technology in various ways into their operations," says Christer Fuglesang, concluding: "The opportunities for us as a society are endless – just like space. I’m proud that, through Space Fund, we can offer small investors and savers a simple way to invest in humanity's future."
