The fund was launched by Global X Funds, which also has a suite of funds that incorporate Brazil, China and silver and copper companies.
The ETF tracks the Solactive Global Lithium Index, which is designed to reflect performance of the largest lithium-battery producing and mining and refining companies in the world, Global X said.
“The Global X Lithium ETF is an efficient way to invest in what we refer to as a ‘green’ commodity because of its direct correlation to the renewable energy market such as electric cars and energy storage,” said chief executive Bruno del Ama.
