    First Trust AEROSPACE & DEFENSE PORTFOLIO Series 43st

    Question for you guys, have any of you bought this fund and what are your thoughts? It is a bit expensive, but I feel like it will be a good fund due to what the future looks like right now. See the attached docs to read about it. My investment professional is recommending it.

    There's several aerospace and defense ETFs out there. The differences being expense and the weighting of stocks they're holding. I would think any of these funds would perform well over time. When has the gov't ever not spend on defense, and there's always a war going on somewhere. I would certainly pick a fund with drone and robot makers as well as AI. I would try to find out what company is supplying the AI that Israel using, thats some scary shit they're using.

    Sometimes some TFS perform well based on a few holdings. If you want to avoid paying the expense you could look through the ETF portfolio and maybe pick a few different stocks within it (maybe one that deals with cybersecurity, a few traditional defense stocks and some that deal with AI).
