Defiance Files ETF Targeting Global Superconductivity Companies

The Defiance Superconductor ETF will track the BITA Superconductivity Innovation Index, a benchmark focused on companies involved in the development, production, and commercialization of superconducting technologies. The index includes firms tied to superconducting materials, magnets, cryogenic systems, power infrastructure, and applications in areas such as quantum computing, fusion energy, transportation, defense, and AI infrastructure. Constituents must meet strict revenue and liquidity requirements, and the fund may invest in both public companies and, to a limited extent, private superconductivity-related firms through direct holdings or special-purpose vehicles. The ETF will use an indexing approach and provide targeted exposure to a niche but potentially transformative technology segment.
