The Defense ETF Duel: Old Guard Aerospace or Next-Gen Tech?
Invesco Aerospace & Defense ETF (PPA) and First Trust Indxx Aerospace & Defense ETF (MISL) offer different approaches to defense sector investing. PPA, the larger and more established fund with $7.4B in AUM, delivers higher dividends (0.4% yield) and lower volatility with traditional aerospace exposure. MISL, launched in 2022 with a more concentrated 39-holding portfolio, emphasizes next-gen defense tech including Palantir and SpaceX. Since 2022, PPA has outperformed with 117% total return (21.6% CAGR) versus MISL's 105% (19.8% CAGR), though both have slightly elevated expense ratios around 0.58-0.60%.

The U.S. defense sector experienced a nearly 19% decline from early August through mid-October 2026 due to rising Treasury yields, military spending uncertainty ahead of midterms, and supply-chain constraints. Despite headwinds, the Aerospace sector is expected to report 11.8% earnings growth supported by NATO spending commitments and strong backlogs. Key defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and RTX are scheduled to report Q3 results, with investors focusing on cash flow generation and contract execution amid a higher cost of capital environment.
