How to invest in private space companies in 2026

Interest in shares of private space companies such as Blue Origin, Sierra Space and Axiom Space has grown after SpaceX listed, but access for individual investors remains limited. In the United States, buyers typically must qualify as accredited investors and meet high minimum investments, with trading often conducted on secondary platforms. Prices are often indicative bids rather than firm market quotes. Deals can take 30 to 90 days, sometimes longer, and fees and lockups can be significant.

Base rate raised twice, but loan rates move differently by product

The Bank of Korea has raised its policy rate twice in a row, but loan rates are moving at different speeds depending on the product. Variable-rate mortgages are typically linked to COFIX, while fixed and mixed-rate mortgages follow market rates such as bank debentures. Existing variable-rate borrowers also see changes only when their repricing cycle arrives. COFIX has risen for four straight months, while longer-term market rates can move earlier on policy expectations.
