Aerospace & Defense ETFs are exchange-traded funds that invest in companies involved in the aerospace and defense industries. These industries include manufacturers of aircraft, spacecraft, defense systems, and related technologies. Aerospace & Defense ETFs provide investors with a way to gain exposure to companies in these industries without purchasing individual stocks. They may also offer diversification benefits, as the performance of companies in these industries may not be closely correlated with the overall stock market.
