Defense Tech ETF
Reasons to Consider SHLD
Long-Term Growth Catalysts
Since 2020, global defense spending has grown at a 4.2% annual rate – about 4x higher than pre-pandemic levels. Spending is expected to grow at a 5% annualized rate to $3.4 trillion by 2030.1
Reimagining the Defense Industry
Governments are increasingly reliant on advanced military systems that require specialized hardware, creating demand for sensors, artificial intelligence chips, and other processing/networking solutions.
Differentiated Exposure
Defense Tech spans sectors like industrials, cybersecurity, AI, and augmented reality. Unlike civilian markets, defense revenues are closely tied to military needs and are not necessarily linked to economic cycles.
