Success of 'PLUS K Defense' and Global Defense ETFs
The 'PLUS K Defense' and 'PLUS Global Defense' ETFs have gained attention by ranking first in return rates among domestic and international stock ETFs since the beginning of 2023. 'PLUS K Defense' recorded a return rate of 85.22%, while 'PLUS Global Defense' achieved a commendable 54.13%. These outstanding results are closely linked to the increased defense budgets across Europe and the Middle East, alongside countries' rearmament efforts, leading to a positive outlook for the defense industry.
Both ETFs primarily consist of companies exporting weapon systems to Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, making them relatively less affected by the U.S. tariff policies commonly encountered in international trade. 'PLUS K Defense' has particularly excelled within this environment, demonstrating resilience amid the U.S. tariff wars. Hanwha Asset Management has leveraged this success to elevate its market share to sixth place, anticipating continued growth.
The defense sector is characterized by high operating profit margins, presenting a valuable investment opportunity from a long-term perspective. The success of these ETFs highlights the high barriers to entry within the defense industry, prompting many investors to consider long-term investments. The support of leading European asset management firms in the defense sector further substantiates this viewpoint.
