Equal weighted exposure to disruptive technology companies beyond the MAG 7 and FAANGs.
Our Partner
Exposure to global megatrends
Uses a transparent rules-based index to capture disruptive global companies that are leading technology innovation in the exciting megatrends of our time including genomics, blockchain and quantum computing.
No over-exposure to FAANGs
ITEK avoids concentration in larger stocks e.g. FAANGs (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google) by using a double diversification approach, allocating equal weight to each theme then equal weighting constituents within.
Equal weight exposure to global companies
The Equal Weighted Tech Megatrend ETF’s constituents are not limited to one region or country, giving global coverage and access to smaller, global companies to better contribute to ITEK’s performance.
Driven by global megatrends
The digital revolution is being driven by exciting megatrends including genomics, blockchain and quantum computing.
Equal weighting
Equal weighting between themes can ensure that short-term movements are captured before risk being potentially reduced through disciplined rebalancing.
Thematic approach
Capturing tomorrow’s mega-caps can be difficult, especially for new and innovative companies. A thematic approach may allow for broader exposure.
HAN-GINS Tech Megatrend Equal Weight UCITS ETF (ITEK) seeks to provide exposure to the disruptive technology companies in “Industry 4.0” that are changing the world through global megatrends.
The equal weight tech megatrend ETF provides equal weight access to companies that are driving innovation in ten sub-sectors:

Source: HANetf, data as of 31.08.2026. Please note that all performance figures are showing net data. Performance before inception is based on back-tested data. Back-testing is the process of evaluating an investment strategy by applying it to historical data to simulate what the performance of such a strategy would have been. Back-tested data does not represent actual performance and should not be interpreted as an indication of actual or future performance. Past performance for the index is in USD. Past performance is not an indicator for future results and should not be the sole factor of consideration when selecting a product. Investors should read the prospectus of the Issuer (“Prospectus”) before investing and should refer to the section of the Prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” for further details of risks associated with an investment in this product. If fund is less than 12 months old, YTD field will be calculated since inception. When you invest in ETFs your capital is at risk.

Companies are selected based on eight innovative technology industry buckets and are equally weighted. The Equal Weight Tech Megatrend ETF tracks the Solactive Innovative Technologies Index, which rebalances semi-annually.
Tech megatrends in defence refer to companies driving technological innovation in areas such as AI, robotics, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, and digital platforms that enhance defence, aerospace, and security operations.
Emerging technologies improve operational efficiency, situational awareness, and strategic capabilities. They enable faster decision-making, autonomous systems, advanced surveillance, and protection against cyber threats.
Key technologies include artificial intelligence, robotics, drones, cybersecurity solutions, autonomous vehicles, AI-enabled surveillance, secure communications, and digital defence platforms.
They enhance precision, speed, and effectiveness in operations, reduce human risk through automation, strengthen cybersecurity, and enable advanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities.
Unlike traditional defence, which focuses on established equipment like tanks or aircraft, tech megatrends emphasize innovation-driven growth, digital systems, and software-enabled solutions, often with faster adoption cycles.
Risks include rapid technological change, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, high R&D costs, regulatory challenges, market competition, and sensitivity to macroeconomic or defence budget cycles.
As defence systems become more digital and connected, they are exposed to cyber attacks. Companies are investing in cybersecurity technologies to protect data, networks, and operational systems.
Autonomous systems, such as drones, robotic platforms, and AI-driven vehicles, enhance operational efficiency, reduce personnel risk, and allow real-time decision-making in complex environments.
Yes. Ethical considerations include responsible AI use, cybersecurity standards, privacy compliance, and exclusion of companies engaged in controversial weapons or unethical practices.
The sector is rapidly advancing, with continuous innovation in AI, robotics, autonomous systems, and cybersecurity. Collaboration between defence and technology companies accelerates adoption and integration of cutting-edge capabilities.
