Defense ETFs Soar Amid Geopolitical Tensions
Hanwha Asset Management's 'Hanwha K Defense Ship Nuclear Fund' and 'PLUS K Defense Leverage' recorded impressive returns of 21.5% and 61.8%, respectively, topping domestic equity fund and ETF sectors. The increased interest in the defense industry stems from heightened global geopolitical risks. Notably, the KODEX K Defense TOP10 Leverage ETF achieved a stellar return of 67.03%, the highest among defense-related ETFs. This trend is driven by the anticipation of increased defense demand amid growing international security uncertainties, promising a positive mid-to-long-term outlook. Individual investors are also channeling their investments into defense, shipbuilding, and energy sectors. The 'RISE Donghak Ant ETF' by KB Asset Management has garnered a 19.6% return since the beginning of the year, gaining popularity among individuals. This ETF combines top individual net-buy stocks with those demonstrating a 12-month price momentum in its portfolio and strategically rebalances monthly to align with investor preferences. This approach mirrors the optimistic long-term predictions for the defense industry.
