PureFunds ISE Cyber Security ETF
HACK-N
COMMENT
Apr 25, 2022
These are good ETFs for the cybersecurity theme. Thinks that they will be more and more important in the future. Should have some cybersecurity in your portfolio for the next decade. Good for longterm, could hold for the next 10 years. Probably the most needed area of technology.
Buy individual cybersecurity stocks or buy this ETF? He now hold a full position in HACK. He also owns Palo Alto--and can't fathom why it isn't part of HACK, because it's the dominant player in cybersecurity.
Interesting area in today's world. Likes that top 10 holdings are only 34%. But let's be clear, if tech or the market doesn't do well, this doesn't do well. Doesn't matter if earnings are growing, if you're facing headwinds from a macro perspective. Be very careful with this narrow theme. Plus, there's a privacy backlash in tech.
Best cyber security ETF? He prefers HACK as it gives diversification. It allows him to trade in and out at will, something not always available with individual stocks.
It is half software and half servicing and is a much larger ETF than many of its competitors'. There is a lot of small cap with risk. This is the one to be in if you want to be in the cyber security space.
A long term theme for him. Indifferent to the individual ETF. You should understand that cyber security is a critical growth area as the world digitizes. You should keep buying into the dips.
He used to use this. When you're learning about a space, you go to the ETF. Be aware of the valuation. He'd recommend that you can pick leaders within that, rather than buying them all through the ETF. Try FTNT, S, PANW or CYBR.
