"Global defense spending rose 9.4% year-over-year to $2.7 trillion in 2024, the fastest annual increase since the Cold War. That spending flows directly to SHLD's holdings."
"The top five positions account for roughly 36% of net assets. Lockheed Martin sits at 9.22%, followed by RTX at 8.03%, General Dynamics at 7.08%, Rheinmetall at 6.30%, and Palantir at 6.08%."
"SHLD holds 49 companies across U.S. and international contractors, but the fund is not evenly distributed. The international diversification is a genuine differentiator."
Operation Absolute Resolve utilized F-35s, F-22s, and stealth drones, all connected to firms within the Global X Defense Tech ETF.
