Xtrackers' Critical Technologies ETF Narrows Focus to Six Defense Priorities

Xtrackers’ US National Critical Technologies ETF (CRTC) has updated its methodology following changes by the U.S. Department of Defense, reducing its investment universe from 14 critical technology sectors to six. The revised categories are Applied Artificial Intelligence, Biomanufacturing, Contested Logistics Technologies, Quantum and Battlefield Information Dominance, Scaled Hypersonics, and Scaled Directed Energy. The index will continue identifying eligible companies through industry classifications mapped to these strategic technologies. The change sharpens the ETF’s focus on areas viewed as most critical to U.S. national security, defense modernization, advanced manufacturing, and next-generation technology leadership.
