Worried about missing out on the SpaceX IPO? Here are four other ways to get exposure before it lists - IFA Magazine

A potential SpaceX listing is one of the most anticipated market moments of the decade. While there's still no confirmed IPO timeline, investors don't have to wait on the sidelines.

There are already several ways to gain exposure, whether indirectly through public markets or more directly via pre-IPO pricing.

Chris Beauchamp, Chief Market Analyst, IG suggests investors can:

Buying shares in these trusts offers indirect exposure to SpaceX, alongside a broader portfolio of innovative companies. The trade-off is that SpaceX is just one component, so its impact on returns is diluted.

Meanwhile, satellite and imaging companies such as Maxar Technologies and Teledyne Technologies offer more targeted exposure to the commercialisation of space. While these businesses are not tied exclusively to SpaceX, their fortunes are increasingly linked to the sector's growth.

It's a way of expressing a view on the IPO before it happens, without needing to access private markets or wait for shares to become publicly available. This approach is more speculative and focuses purely on pricing expectations, but it provides a unique route for investors who want exposure specifically to the IPO moment itself.
