Uranium exposure in my ISA?

sikas

somewhat of a newbie here...

so i like the look of the $URA chart (Global x Uranium ETF) and would to add a small amount of exposure

thing is, my ISA is with AJ BELL and apparently i cant make an allocation to that ETF as they haven't issued a 'Key Information Document'

ive clocked the GCL trust, but the fees+premium are pretty high

and then i was thinking about allocating some capital to the individual mining companies themselves , but as they're traded on the Canadian+US stock exchange i have to fill in Tax treaty documents?

My other portfolio allocations are in noob-friendly ETF's

how can i do this?

Thanks, S

I believe that even a small exposure could be harmful.

There is also NYSE:NLR as an alternative ETF, but you may run into the same problem.

As you mention, you could invest in producers, for example Cameco, which also trades on the NYSE. Filling out a W8-BEN is not a massive hurdle in the case of US shares.

There's an investment trust called, I think, Geiger Trust. I assume they do U.

update: nearly right with the name. Here we are.
