iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF

Boeing, RTX, Lockheed Martin and GE Aerospace sit at the center of ITA. The fund tracks a Dow Jones index of U.S. aerospace and defense companies, spanning the prime contractors that build fighter jets, missiles and airliners as well as the suppliers feeding their programs. BlackRock has run it since 2006. Because the index is weighted toward the largest players, a handful of defense primes and Boeing drive much of its performance, giving the fund a top-heavy profile. Its two halves behave differently: defense revenue leans on government budgets and geopolitics, while the commercial-aerospace side rides airline demand and travel cycles. Investors use ITA to bet on rising military spending, on Boeing's recovery, or on both, in a single sector fund rather than picking individual contractors whose fortunes hinge on specific programs and contracts.
