Key benefits​

Focused portfolio​

Exposure to the largest global companies involved in aerospace & defence, research & consulting, application software and electronic equipment & instruments, that are typically under-represented in benchmarks.

Advancing technological innovation​

The defence industry is at the forefront of technological innovation and development as governments require specialised hardware and software creating demand for new technologies including AI and cyber security capabilities.

Differentiated exposure​

An investment in opportunities beyond our borders, with revenues that are not necessarily correlated to general economic cycles, but rather government spending.

Thanks @Dona Ferentes . I have been thinking of defence stocks, in Europe particularly, although I'm probably late to the market. VanEck have some interesting products. This one has 26.7% exposure to Europe and I note Palantir in the USA is one of their larger holdings, which is coming back to realistic valuations of late. I may put this on a watchlist.

ARMR - Betashares Global Defence ETF​

not sure as to the differences. doing better than bitcoin

I just thought I'd put up charts of DFND upper and ARMR lower over the last 6 months. Both are up about 30% in 6 months with some selling over the last few days on spike up in to overbought territory.
