Access aerospace, defence and security companies through a range of iShares ETFs designed for long-term investing.
Governments worldwide continue to invest in defence, security and military capabilities in response to changing geopolitical and security needs. This supports demand for companies operating in areas such as aerospace, defence equipment, communications, cybersecurity and advanced technologies.
Investing directly in individual defence companies can be complex and concentrated. Defence ETFs offer a simpler way to access a diversified group of companies across the sector through a single investment.
For investors seeking long-term exposure to a theme linked to government spending and national security, defence ETFs can complement a broader, diversified portfolio.
Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.
