Investment in Defense Industry

The geopolitical tensions between the USA and the EU and the growing discussions about an EU armyand more independence in terms of security policy make the topic of defense spending extremely exciting. I believe it is very likely that Europe will invest massively in this area over the next few years - a clear catalyst for the defense industry.

I find the S&P $SPGI (-0.29%) Developed BMI Select Aerospace & Defense Indexwhich BlackRock $BLK launched as an ETF a year ago. Alternatives such as VanEck and HANetf also exist, although the latter Palantir
$PLTR (-3.33%) in the portfolio - still too early for me.

Anyone looking for an opportunity to profit from Europe's rearmament and the changes within NATO should definitely keep an eye on this sector.

$DFND (-2.83%)

Could also add $ASWC. Although $PLTR is also the largest position, it only has just over 6% and is immediately followed by $RHM

Why not use the liblings $RHM $LMTB34 $PLTR? Self-assembled etf ?

@Blizzard I've already thought about the latter, but the effort involved in an actively managed ETF that I put together myself seemed immense. First of all, how do you select the stocks? Do you do your own rebalancing? And how do you present this in savings plan form?

@Multibagger It will cost you a lot of money at the beginning, but once you have your 5 to 8 stocks, you can simply set them up using a savings plan. That means with an investment of 100€ and 5 shares you can give 20€ each. Of course you can also say you want to give more to the big players and less to the others. If you are interested and have time, this is certainly a great thing, but the ETF form is certainly easier. You can just decide less yourself
