ARKX: The Space ETF That Could Be Your Portfolio's Golden Dome

  • ARKX offers thematic exposure to space and defense innovation, but has high concentration risk, with the top 10 holdings making up over 64% of the portfolio. The ETF benefits from rising global defense spending and government contracts, particularly in hypersonic and satellite technologies, supporting its growth outlook. ARKX has outperformed the S&P 500 year-to-date, but underperformed since inception, and carries higher volatility and downside risk due to its high beta.
