Invesco Defence Innovation

ETF description

This ETF focuses on companies involved in defense, security, and technological innovation related to national and global safety. It includes businesses that develop and manufacture defense equipment, cybersecurity solutions, surveillance systems, and other security‑related technologies. These companies operate in sectors such as aerospace, software, and engineering, contributing to advancements in military and defense systems as well as civilian security applications.

The ETF selects companies based on their involvement in these areas, meaning its portfolio may include firms that provide advanced technology for governments, private organizations, and infrastructure security. The composition of the fund is periodically reviewed and adjusted to ensure it continues to reflect the sector.

This ETF may appeal to investors interested in industries that focus on defense and security innovation. Because it is concentrated in a specific sector, its performance may be influenced by changes in government policies, technological developments, and geopolitical events.

Investors who prefer a diversified approach where all companies have equal representation, regardless of their size, might find this ETF appealing.
