Our read on IHAK
BThe cheap, genuinely global way to own cybersecurity. IHAK tracks a worldwide cyber index that reaches into emerging markets, holds roughly 40 names, and undercuts the category's two best-known funds on fees.
The fund tracks a global equity index of companies focused on cybersecurity hardware, software, and services, providing exposure across developed and emerging markets.
Why people hold it
- 0.47% a year, under the cybersecurity cohort's 0.50% median and below both CIBR (0.58%) and HACK (0.60%).
- Genuinely global mandate: the NYSE FactSet Global Cyber Security Index spans developed and emerging markets, so security spending outside the US counts.ishares.com
- About 40 names across cyber hardware, software and services. Tight enough to be a real theme bet, wide enough not to ride on one vendor.
- Live since 2019 on iShares plumbing, and it stands in the upper tier of its eight-fund cybersecurity peer group.
Worth knowing
- One theme, roughly 40 stocks. If enterprise security budgets stall, there is nowhere inside the portfolio to hide.
- Volume is moderate rather than heavy. Less actively traded funds can carry wider bid-ask spreads, especially around the open and close.
- Global reach cuts both ways: foreign and emerging-market holdings add currency and country risk on top of the tech cycle.
