The SpaceX IPO has put the space economy at the centre of investor conversations.

The headlines are hard to ignore: heightened investor interest, a major valuation debate, and a growing number of ways for Canadian investors to access the theme, from direct shares and CDRs to single-name funds and diversified space-tech ETFs.

Join us on July 22nd for After the Launch: SpaceX, the Space Economy, and What It Means for Canadian Portfolios — a 60-minute webinar covering:

  • The valuation debate: What SpaceX’s first month of trading tells us about investor expectations, market sentiment, and the bull versus bear case.
  • The index mechanics and ripple effects investors often miss: How Space X’s path into major indices unfolded, what it reveals about eligibility, timing, liquidity, and methodology, and what it could mean for future high-profile IPOs.
  • The Canadian access map: How direct shares, CDRs, single-name products, and diversified space-tech ETFs compare.
  • What to watch next: Key milestones, trading data, lockup considerations, and the metrics that may shape investor sentiment from here.
  • Live Q&A

This session aims to help advisors and investors separate the headline excitement from the real investment considerations, offering a clearer view of the potential opportunities, risks, and portfolio implications.
