Future of Defence Indo-Pac ex-China UCITS ETF
Exposure to Indo-Pacific defence companies, ex-China.
Future of Defence Indo-Pacific ex-China UCITS ETF (QUAD) aims to provide exposure to Indo-Pacific defence spending, ex-China.
China’s military expansion has kick-started the most significant rearmament drive in the Indo-Pacific since the Cold War. In response, countries from India to Japan are not only increasing defence budgets but also accelerating efforts to localise arms production.
This shift – from imports to domestic sourcing – presents a growing opportunity for Indo-Pacific defence companies.
Companies must be listed defence companies from ten Indo-Pacific countries (excluding China) that generate over 20% of revenue from defence-related activities such as military equipment, naval shipbuilding, defence electronics, and cybersecurity.
Companies are classified as:
Core: ≥50% defence revenue
Non-core: 20–49% defence revenue
Exception: Naval shipbuilders with ≥$3bn defence revenue, regardless of percentage
Weightings are based on free-float market capitalisation, with caps to ensure diversification:
Core companies are capped at 10%
Non-core companies at 5%
All companies must have a minimum 0.2% weight
This approach aims to ensure focused, diversified exposure to the Indo-Pacific defence sector.
