- U.S. Global Technology and Aerospace & Defense ETF (NYSE Arca: WAR) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks capital appreciation by investing in global companies driving innovation at the intersection of technology and defense, including firms in aerospace and defense, semiconductors, cybersecurity, data centers, and homeland protection. The fund employs a proprietary smart beta 2.0 strategy combining quantitative and fundamental analysis to select approximately 50 holdings based on factors such as cash flow, profitability, revenue growth, and alignment with geopolitical and technological trends; top holdings as of November 2025 include Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. (8.38%), Moog Inc. (8.04%), Lam Research Corp. (7.63%), Rapid7 Inc. (5.85%), and F5 Inc. (5.69%), with sector allocations emphasizing technology (over 50%), industrials, and related areas. It targets growth and value stocks across diversified market capitalizations, focusing on advancements in robotics, drones, satellites, artificial intelligence, electronic warfare, and digital resilience amid rising global cyber threats and military spending. Launched on December 30, 2024, by U.S. Global Investors, Inc., WAR represents the firm's first actively managed ETF and expands its thematic lineup alongside products like the U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS); the fund is domiciled in the United States, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, trades on NYSE Arca under CUSIP 26922B410, and maintains a gross expense ratio of 0.60% with net assets exceeding $10 million as of late 2025. Geographically, WAR provides exposure to U.S. and international companies operating in key markets such as North America, Europe (e.g., AIXTRON SE in Germany, RENK Group AG), Australia (Austal Ltd.), and Asia (Lenovo Group Ltd.), serving institutional and retail investors seeking defense-oriented growth amid escalating global tensions. In 2025, WAR has seen portfolio evolution with dynamic rebalancing to capture sector momentum, including increased emphasis on AI data centers and cybersecurity amid a 47% surge in global cyber attacks during Q1; while no major acquisitions or funding rounds for the ETF itself have been reported, its launch capitalized on booming defense budgets ($2.4 trillion globally) and tech projections (semiconductors to $1 trillion by 2030), positioning it to benefit from strategic pacts like the U.S.-UK Technology Prosperity Deal committing over $80 billion in U.S. tech and defense purchases. The fund's assets under management grew from inception to approximately $10.58 million by November 2025, reflecting investor interest in its active approach to high-growth, defensive sectors.
