The SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF (XAR) looks pretty interesting for those eyeing the aerospace and defense world. Global tensions? Still there. Defense spending? Up, up, up. Good news for XAR's holdings.
XAR tracks the S&P Aerospace & Defense Select Industry Index. It's got 35 stocks. Top 10? About 45% of the pie.
AeroVironment's in there. Unmanned aerial systems, you know? They're doing well. Lots of countries want their stuff. Kind of a big deal.
Howmet Aerospace, Textron, Raytheon Technologies - also in XAR. They're not doing too shabby either. More defense money, more orders. It adds up.
Expense ratio's 0.35%. Not bad. Long-term returns? Pretty solid. 11.4% over 10 years, 16.1% since 2011. Not too shabby.
Will it keep going up? Who knows. But with all the global drama and defense cash floating around, it seems like the sector's got some wind in its sails.
Just remember, XAR's all about aerospace and defense. That's great if things go well, but it's not exactly spreading your bets. Think it through. Your call.
