Commercial Aerospace and Defence Supply Chains

ITA tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Select Aerospace & Defense Index. The benchmark includes businesses involved in aircraft manufacturing, assembly and distribution, alongside producers of defence components and equipment. It can include companies of different sizes. This connects commercial aerospace and military-related activities through an index dedicated to the sector.

The fund uses representative sampling, selecting investments intended to resemble the benchmark’s overall characteristics. It may therefore hold a different collection of securities from the index while seeking a similar Investment profile.

Fees and Distribution Policy

The published expense ratio is 0.37%. Distributions are scheduled quarterly.

The 30-day SEC Yield was 0.46% as of 30 September 2026. This standardised income measure reflects the fund’s recent income after expenses; it is separate from changes in the market value of its shares.

The prospectus notes that brokerage commissions and other intermediary charges may apply separately. Fund shares trade at market prices, which can differ from NAV, so the stated NAV does not establish the price of every exchange transaction.

Key Insights

Government spending, contract terms, regulation and Demand for commercial aircraft can affect the underlying businesses. The sector focus leaves the fund exposed to developments shared across aerospace and defence companies.
