As geopolitical risks persist worldwide, fund managers are promoting a new class of ETFs as a hedge against uncertainty, targeting companies that may pose security threats or are vulnerable to sanctions. Examples include the Xtrackers US National Critical Technologies ETF (CRTC), National Security Emerging Markets Index ETF (NSI), and Freedom 100 Emerging Markets ETF (FRDM), which have shown promising returns. However, the untested logic behind these ETFs faces skepticism from traders focused on financial gains, with the idea of shunning fast-growing emerging markets for politically driven investments presenting a challenge in the market.
