Overview

Why invest in our Defense ETF

  • Global Defense Leaders

    Invests in companies that derive significant revenue from defense, including military hardware, cybersecurity and services. A single-theme focus can be concentrated and volatile.

  • Structural Demand Tailwind

    Rising geopolitical tensions and growing defense budgets underpin long-term demand across the sector. Defense spending is policy-driven and can fall, weighing on returns.

  • Controversial Weapons Screening

    Companies linked to controversial weapons are screened out. Screening narrows the universe, so returns may differ from unscreened benchmarks.

Fund Description

As global uncertainty persists, the issue of security and defense has once again become one of the top concerns for national governments. VanEck‘s Defense ETF provides investors with access to leading defense technology companies, large-scale cybersecurity firms and defense-relevant service providers.

  • Pure-play exposure to companies involved in the defense industry
  • Diversified access with at least 25 companies
  • Controversial weapons screening
