Among the ETFs on innovative defence, what are your thoughts on the composition of $IVDF (-6.71%) vs $ASWC (-8.84%)? The holdings of $IVDF (-6.71%) seem to me more volatile, and to have had a sudden surge in the last months, rather than a steadier increase as those of $ASWC (-8.84%). On the other hand, I appreciate that $IVDF (-6.71%) is less exposed to cybersecurity and more to space and robotics, and has an exposure also a bit to energy and health sectors.

2Defence ETF 2025 switch
I just closed my entire $DFEN (-9.24%) position after a very good ride last year, switching it with the new $IVDF (-6.71%) because the VanEck ETF is currently too exposed to $PLTR (-11.65%) and with this structure it does not help me in my portfolio diversification (that is mainly tech, but I also believe that Palantir may not offer good earnings in 2025), while the new Invesco $IVDF (-6.71%) has a very cool and balanced composition ($RKLB (-8.63%)
$KTOS (-8.61%)
$AVAV (-3.95%)
$LDOS (-3.78%) to name few) and also a much lower TER.
From my point of view this is the best ETF for anyone looking to invest in the Defence sector at the moment (and I also had been invested on $ASWC (-8.84%) last year, then I decided to go completely on $DFEN (-9.24%) until today).
NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE!!! 👀
