The Investo MVIS Global Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF (RARA11) is a Brazilian exchange-traded fund providing global exposure to companies involved in the production, refining, and recycling of rare earth and strategic metals.
Managed by Investo Gestão de Recursos, RARA11 trades in Brazilian reais on the B3 and primarily obtains its international exposure through the VanEck Rare Earth and Strategic Metals ETF (REMX), which trades on the NYSE Arca.
The fund follows a passive strategy associated with the MVIS Global Rare Earth/Strategic Metals Index, a benchmark designed to track some of the largest and most liquid companies across the global rare earth and strategic metals industry.
The strategy covers materials used across several strategically important industries, including electric vehicles, renewable energy, advanced electronics, and defense. Its investment universe includes companies associated with rare earth elements, lithium, cobalt, titanium, tungsten, and other strategic metals.

RARA11 also incurs expenses associated with its Brazilian fund structure. The overall cost of the strategy therefore reflects both local fund expenses and the costs embedded in the underlying ETF.
History and Evolution of the ETF
The Investo MVIS Global Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF (RARA11) was launched in 2026, with its shares beginning to trade on the B3 in late June. Its introduction marked the arrival of the first ETF specifically focused on critical minerals on the Brazilian stock exchange.
RARA11 was introduced to provide Brazilian investors with locally traded access to a global industry that has gained economic and geopolitical importance due to the use of strategic minerals across advanced technologies, the energy transition, and defense applications.
The strategy primarily invests through REMX, a U.S.-listed ETF launched in 2010. The VanEck fund tracks the MVIS Global Rare Earth/Strategic Metals Index and provides exposure to global companies involved in producing, refining, and recycling rare earth and strategic metals.
Because RARA11 was only launched in 2026, it has a limited standalone performance history. Its returns are expected to reflect developments in REMX and its underlying companies, changes in demand and prices for strategic minerals, and the currency and geopolitical conditions affecting the global critical-minerals supply chain.
