Description: PPA Aerospace & Defense

The Invesco Aerospace & Defense ETF (PPA) tracks an index of companies critical to U.S. national security, including those involved in military manufacturing, government space operations, and homeland security. The fund maintains a concentrated, non-diversified portfolio, committing at least 90% of its assets to securities within its underlying index.

The aerospace and defense sector is characterized by high barriers to entry and long-term government contracts, which often provide predictable revenue streams despite broader economic cycles. Many firms in this category operate under a prime contractor model, overseeing complex supply chains for large-scale defense platforms. You may find it useful to evaluate these individual holdings further on ValueRay.

  • Geopolitical conflict escalation increases global demand for military hardware
