- Defiance Hotel, Airline, and Cruise ETF (NYSE Arca: CRUZ) is an exchange-traded fund that provides targeted exposure to the global travel sector by tracking the BlueStar Global Hotels, Airlines, and Cruises Index through a full replication technique. The fund invests primarily in growth and value stocks of companies across diversified market capitalizations that derive at least 50% of revenues from passenger airlines, hotels and resorts, or cruise lines; its portfolio includes equities in the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors with global geographic focus spanning the United States, Europe, Asia, and other regions. Launched on June 2, 2021, and sponsored by Defiance ETFs, LLC—a thematic ETF issuer founded in 2018 and headquartered in Miami, Florida—the fund maintains an expense ratio of 0.45% and assets under management of approximately $22 million as of recent data. In a significant operational change announced on April 10, 2025, the Board of Trustees of ETF Series Solutions, upon recommendation from adviser Defiance ETFs, LLC, approved the liquidation of CRUZ's portfolio assets effective on or about April 18, 2025, with trading suspension on NYSE Arca before the open on April 29, 2025, and final pro rata cash distributions to shareholders thereafter. This closure aligns with Defiance ETFs' strategic evolution toward expanded offerings in leveraged single-stock ETFs, income strategies, and other thematic products, including recent 2025 launches such as the Defiance Daily Target 2X Long JPM ETF (JPX) in July, the Defiance Daily Target 2X Short Oklo ETF (OKLS) in November, the Defiance BMNR Option Income ETF (YBMN) via partnership with Milliman Financial Risk Management, and the Defiance Daily Target 2X Long Barrick Mining ETF (BU). Amid these shifts, Defiance ETFs continues to manage approximately $1.4 billion in total AUM across its lineup of innovative funds focused on high-growth sectors like quantum computing, blockchain, and leveraged equities.
