Best Titanium ETFs for 2026 and How to Invest

4. VanEck Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF

As enthusiasm for the electric vehicle (EV) industry continues to accelerate, interest in rare-earth metals has soared. Similarly, interest in strategic metals is on the rise as the United States seeks to shore up its supply chain, ensuring it has an adequate supply of metals — such as titanium — that are critical to various industries. For investors who recognize these concerns, the VanEck Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF is a compelling choice.

In addition to numerous lithium stocks, the ETF includes rare-earth mining specialist MP Materials among its holdings. Distinguishing itself as the only integrated rare-earth mining and processing site in North America, MP Materials is based in California and provides the United States with an avenue to shore up its supply of rare-earth metals.

The ETF’s titanium holdings are in Tronox and Iluka Resources. A vertically integrated titanium dioxide business, Tronox produces the feedstock for its titanium dioxide at six assets located in Australia and South Africa, and it produces titanium dioxide pigment at nine facilities.

Iluka is a leading producer of titanium dioxide and plans to expand into the refining of rare-earth metals. The ETF has a position in the shares of Iluka that trade on the Australian Stock Exchange.

The VanEck Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF rebalances its holdings quarterly, and it has a 0.53% expense ratio. Distributions are made annually.
