ETF description
This ETF focuses on US companies operating in the world’s largest defence market, aiming to capture the next phase of American defence modernisation. Alongside established defence leaders, it includes businesses across the wider defence technology ecosystem — spanning areas such as autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, space technologies, missile defence, and advanced defence infrastructure — as US government spending increasingly shifts towards next‑generation military capabilities.
Investors who believe in the continued growth of US defence spending and the modernisation of military technology may find this ETF appealing. Because each company is capped at 5% of the index, the fund gives greater representation to small and mid‑sized US defence companies than a purely market‑cap weighted approach, though as a thematic fund concentrated in a single sector and country, it may be more volatile than a broad market tracker and could suit investors using it alongside a diversified core portfolio.

ETFs have spreads and annual charges and come with risks like market volatility, liquidity, and concentration, and may not always accurately track their index. Past performance and forecasts are not reliable indicators of future results. The value of your investments, including any income, can rise or fall. You may get back less than you originally invested.
