Seltene Erden AG launches the first fully regulated security for critical raw materials
Seltene Erden AG officially launches today the first fully regulated, physically backed security for strategic technology metals and rare earths in Europe. For the first time, investors can participate directly and securely in the price development of these critical raw materials. The security is now tradable under ISIN [Ll1394379161].
Secure supply. Seize opportunities.
As global supply chains falter and political risks increasingly jeopardise the supply of strategic metals, Seltene Erden AG is specifically focusing on building up secured physical commodities inventories in Europe. These inventories serve both as a strategic reserve for industrial customers and as a tangible asset for investors.
Even today, the potential of this market is becoming clear:
“If investors had invested three months ago, they would now be posting a gain of around 14%—solely due to the latest price developments in gallium, germanium, dysprosium and terbium,” explains Andreas Kroll, Member of the Executive Board of Seltene Erden AG. “Our product therefore combines security of supply with real value appreciation.”
Geopolitics is worsening the situation—China is barely supplying anymore.
The global market for rare earths and technology metals is tightening dramatically:
- China’s export controls are already causing massive supply shortfalls.
- Exports of gallium and germanium have fallen to virtually zero in recent months (source: customs statistics).
- Terbium has recently exceeded the USD 4,000/kg mark, while dysprosium is currently trading at USD 2,400/kg.
Long-term demand boom driven by global megatrends
Demand for rare earths will continue to rise sharply in the coming years.
“These price movements are the most visible proof of increasing scarcity. China is systematically reducing exports, while industries worldwide are demanding ever larger quantities,” Kroll continues.
Key growth drivers include:
- Electromobility (e.g. permanent magnets for electric motors)
- Wind energy (e.g. neodymium for wind turbine generators)
- Robotics and human robotics
- Semiconductor industry
- Defence industry (e.g. high-performance sensor technology)
- Artificial intelligence and digitalisation
Forecasts (e.g. Statista, IEA) expect the raw material demand in many of these areas to double to triple
within the next ten years.
The right product at the right time
Seltene Erden AG therefore offers investors access to a highly topical market segment—secure, transparent and fully physically backed. Using Finomet technology, all inventories are digitally documented, comprehensively verified and stored in an audit-proof manner.
Physical. Regulated. Transparent. Secure.
The innovative security is fully backed by physically stored metals held in high-security facilities in Europe. External audit reports and digital transparency protocols ensure that inventory management can be verified at any time. This creates maximum transparency and access to the commodities market for private and institutional investors.
Invest now and secure a strategic advantage
With the approval granted, Seltene Erden AG is now officially commencing full operations. Investors, institutional partners, and industrial clients now have the opportunity to participate in a market that is constantly gaining strategic importance in light of geopolitical dynamics.
This is primarily an appeal to family offices and asset managers to actively participate in securing raw materials for Germany.
