SHLD: A Timely Defense Play As The U.S.-Iran War Escalates

Global X Defense Tech ETF (SHLD) offers exposure to large defense, cybersecurity, and advanced military tech firms, benefiting from ongoing geopolitical tensions. SHLD has outperformed the S&P 500 ETF (VOO) since inception, with a 52.44% total return through 2024 and strong NAV growth. Defense spending growth and rapid AI adoption are expected to drive further SHLD outperformance, particularly if current conflicts persist.
