WisdomTree Europe Defence UCITS ETF EUR Unhedged Acc

WisdomTree Europe Defence UCITS ETF EUR Unhedged Acc is an equity exchange-traded fund designed to provide focused exposure to the European defence sector. The fund’s primary purpose is to track the performance of the WisdomTree Europe Defence UCITS Index, which is composed of companies domiciled in Europe and generating significant revenue from defence-related activities. This ETF employs a physical, fully replicated investment strategy, holding shares of the underlying companies directly to closely mirror index performance. A key feature of the fund is its thematic focus: it exclusively targets European firms at the forefront of military, security, and defence technology, offering investors a pure-play approach to this segment. By excluding companies involved in internationally banned weapons and those violating recognized global norms, the index ensures compliance with ethical investment standards. The ETF is accumulating, meaning all dividends received are automatically reinvested, which may enhance its capital growth potential. Serving as a tool for investors seeking diversification within the defence industry, the fund reflects Europe’s strategic rearmament trends and increased government defence spending. The ETF’s diversified country exposure—primarily spanning the UK, France, Germany, and Italy—makes it a significant vehicle for capturing structural shifts in European defence investment.
