FT Indxx Global Aerospace & Defense MISL Fund

The FT Indxx Global Aerospace & Defense MISL Fund is an exchange-traded fund designed to capture the performance of companies operating within the global aerospace and defense sector. The fund seeks to mirror the price and yield (before fees and expenses) of the Indxx Global Advanced Aerospace & Defence Index, offering investors broad exposure to both established and emerging players in this critical industry. It achieves its objective through full physical replication, investing primarily in the equity securities of index constituents and, where necessary, depositary receipts representing those securities. This ETF includes holdings spanning leading aircraft manufacturers, defense contractors, and suppliers of advanced aerospace technologies, such as Howmet Aerospace, Boeing, Rolls-Royce Holdings, GE Aerospace, and Safran. Launched in December 2024, the fund accumulates dividends, reinvesting them to enhance long-term compounding. With a total expense ratio of 0.65% per annum, the fund is structured to provide efficient and diversified sector exposure for those interested in the industrial materials and defense landscape. Its role in the financial market is to facilitate targeted investment in a globally significant sector, supporting strategies around innovation, security, and infrastructure advancement.
