Anthony Ginsberg, CEO of GinsGlobal Index Fund, recently spoke with Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss recent updates to the firm’s Tech Megatrend ETF, a globally diversified fund designed to capture growth across the world’s most transformative technology themes. Ginsberg explained that the ETF maintains a global benchmark with just over 50% exposure to the U.S. and nearly 20% to Asia, including China and Japan. The fund spans ten key technology subthemes such as cybersecurity, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and blockchain, providing investors with broad access to multiple innovation-driven sectors. In a significant enhancement, the ETF has now added quantum computing and defense technology to its portfolio. “Quantum is really changing the speed of innovation across industries—from financial services and pharmaceuticals to R&D—helping companies find faster, smarter, and more cost-effective solutions,” Ginsberg said. The fund now includes five quantum-focused companies, each with a minimum market cap of $200 million. The addition of defense technology reflects a growing trend among governments to allocate more of their defense budgets toward cybersecurity and digital defense infrastructure. Ginsberg noted that 1.5% of NATO countries’ defense GDP is now being directed toward defense technology initiatives, underscoring the increasing convergence of tech innovation and national security. When discussing performance, Ginsberg pointed to blockchain as the ETF’s top performer in 2025 so far, posting gains exceeding 50%, followed by cybersecurity and digital entertainment, each returning around 25–30%. He also highlighted the ETF’s diversified structure, distinguishing it from typical U.S.-centric tech funds. “We only have about a 6% weighting in the ‘Magnificent Seven,’” Ginsberg noted, emphasizing the ETF’s broader exposure across emerging innovators and lower concentration risk within its top holdings. With these updates, GinsGlobal’s Tech Megatrend ETF continues to position itself at the forefront of the global technology evolution, offering investors access to high-growth sectors driving the next wave of digital transformation. #TechMegatrendETF, #AnthonyGinsberg, #FourthIndustrialRevolution, #AI, #Cybersecurity, #CloudComputing, #SocialMedia, #FutureCars, #Robotics, #InterestRateCuts, #Diversification, #GlobalHoldings, #Nasdaq,
