Investors need to consider whether those risks are worth it to gain broad exposure to the copper market via a copper ETF.

The Global X Copper Miners ETF (COPX +1.62%) provides investors with access to a range of copper mining companies. The ETF had $8 billion in assets under management (AUM) and held 41 copper stocks in June 2026, led by the following five:

Hudbay Minerals (HBM -0.30%): 5.5% of the fund's assets.
Teck Resources (TECK +2.18%): 5.3%.
BHP Group (BHP +1.92%): 5.2%.
Antofagasta (ANFGF +2.16%): 5.0%.
First Quantum Minerals (OTCMKTS:FQVLF): 5.0%.

The ETF gives investors targeted exposure to the entire copper mining industry. It allows investors to hold a broad basket of copper mining stocks for a modest ETF expense ratio of 0.65%.

One drawback to investing in copper mining stocks is that they can underperform copper prices due to cost overruns, mismanagement, or other issues. Many also produce other metals such as iron ore, aluminum, and gold, which can dilute the impact of higher copper prices.

However, copper mining stocks can also potentially outperform copper if they can expand production amid rising copper prices. They also offer the potential to collect dividend income.
