Lithium stock ETFs
Picking individual lithium stocks can be fairly risky. But investing in a lithium stock-heavy exchange-traded fund (ETF), can give your portfolio exposure to lithium with less risk. Lithium ETFs include a basket of stocks related to the lithium industry. One of these ETFs is the Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF (LIT). LIT invests in companies that span the lithium production cycle, such as mining, refining and battery production.
