RS Global Group, a wealth management firm headquartered in Taiwan, has launched a new actively managed thematic exchange-traded fund designed to provide targeted exposure to companies operating in global defence, security, and geopolitical transformation sectors. The fund focuses on opportunities across defence, cybersecurity, aerospace, and advanced technologies, spanning multiple geographies and industries worldwide.
The company positions the fund to capitalize on long-term structural forces including geopolitical fragmentation, supply chain realignment, and intensifying competition over critical technologies. RS Global Group believes the defence sector is growing in strategic and economic importance, and that an active management approach allows for greater precision and flexibility in navigating the rapidly evolving global defence landscape, potentially producing better investment opportunities for clients.
The fund will leverage top-down macro research, proprietary analytics, and alternative data to construct a selective, globally diversified portfolio. It is designed for investors seeking focused exposure to defence and security themes amid changing global conditions. According to the announcement, the fund will only be available to institutional entities and accredited investors, not to retail investors.
This launch reflects growing investor interest in defence and security sectors as geopolitical tensions continue to shape global markets. The fund's thematic approach allows investors to target specific areas within the broader defence industry that may benefit from increased government spending, technological innovation, and shifting international alliances. The active management strategy differentiates it from passive defence ETFs by allowing portfolio managers to adjust holdings based on evolving geopolitical developments and emerging technologies.
The company's website at https://rsglobalgroup.com provides additional information about their financial services. RS Global Group emphasizes that they incorporate ESG factors in long-term investment strategies and adhere to social and corporate responsibility principles, though specific details about how these principles apply to the defence fund were not provided in the announcement.
The fund's launch comes at a time when defence spending is increasing globally, with many nations reassessing their security needs in response to regional conflicts and strategic competition. Investors seeking exposure to this sector now have another specialized vehicle available, though access remains limited to qualified institutional and accredited investors rather than the general public.
