Wes leads the conversation on Defence ETFs
We’re proud to share that our NTWRK CEO, Wes, featured in ETF Streams ‘Indexing Unlocked 2025 report’. A great insight into his views on how defence ETFs are now a cornerstone of wealth portfolios.
In the feature, he explains why thematic ETFs, and defence ETFs in particular, have become an important part of our investment strategies for members. It’s not about chasing headlines or stock picking. It’s about positioning financial plans to benefit from long-term macro shifts.
He also shares how we’ve used the HANetf NATO ETF to add a regional balance within portfolios, reflecting the reality that defence is now considered a structural theme, not a passing trend. As Wes notes:
“The world has changed, and defence is now being reframed by some as a foundational pillar of peace and stability. That might sound contradictory, but the logic is simple: strong defence can deter conflict.”
Wes’ feature in ETF Stream showcases how IronMarket Wealth stays ahead by aligning member portfolios with meaningful, long-term trends, ensuring plans are positioned to benefit from the realities shaping our world.
