In the midst of many companies' mid-2025 earnings reports, names from the financials and tech sectors have stood out, as have firms from the aerospace and defense industry. It's common for investors to respond to earnings info by buying or selling shares of individual companies, but those bullish on these broader categories may find that a targeted exchange-traded fund (ETF) is an easy way to gain exposure to a larger segment of the market that is primed for success.
Three such funds may allow investors to capitalize on future growth across these trending areas of the market. Two—the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEARCA: XLK) and the Vanguard Financials ETF (NYSEARCA: VFH)—are sector funds providing broad exposure. A third, the iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF (BATS: ITA), is also fairly broad in scope but focused on a particular industry.
