There's massive focus on this now: collecting personal data and hacking into company databases, which happens more than we think. Cyber security companies have explosive potential growth.

Cyber security ETF. It is a niche exposure. Whenever there is news of a data breach, this one receives inflows and volume. This is a good ETF giving you a targeted exposure with good liquidity. If you want niche plays in concentrated sectors that may be volatile, and if you feel there is another data breach coming, then this ETF will probably respond with positive price action to this kind of news. Probably not a long term kind of investment vehicle.
