FAQs

  • Why invest in cybersecurity?

    Cybersecurity is an important sector that will continue to grow as cyber threats become more prolific alongside the development of more advanced technologies such as generative artificial intelligence (AI) and the cloud. For investors, an expanding investment opportunity exists as current cybersecurity initiatives only service around 10% of the US$2 trillion total addressable market.

    The Global X Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: BUGG) aims to capture this megatrend by tracking the performance of pure-play global cybersecurity companies which are dedicated to this space through a strict revenue screen.

  • What are pure-play cybersecurity companies?

    Pure-play cybersecurity companies are specialised businesses whose primary objective is to protect their clients from cybercrimes, data breaches and malicious attacks. They do so by dedicating the majority of resources to solutions to safeguard organisations’ hardware, software, and data. These companies play a vital role in ensuring the security and privacy of online assets and information.

  • How are the companies in the index identified and weighted?

    The Indxx Cybersecurity Index is designed to provide exposure to companies that generate at least 50% of revenue from cybersecurity activities, including, but not limited to, the development and management of security protocols preventing intrusion and attacks to systems, networks, applications, computers, and mobile devices. There can be a maximum of 40 companies in the index, each capped at a 6% weight and a minimum of 0.3%. Companies are weighted according to their market capitalisation (minimum of US$200 million). The index is rebalanced, and distributions are paid semi-annually.

  • What are the benefits of using an ETF to access cybersecurity?

    An ETF allows diversified access to cybersecurity companies at a low cost and reduced risk compared to individual stock picking. For example, the Global X Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: BUGG) seeks to invest in pure-play cybersecurity companies that stand to benefit from the increased adoption of cybersecurity technology, particularly those whose principal business is in the development and management of security protocols preventing intrusion and attacks to systems, networks, applications, computers, and mobile devices.

  • How can you use BUGG in a portfolio?

    • As a satellite exposure to gain exposure to growing demand and investment in the cybersecurity industry.
    • As a thematic tilt towards megatrends, including digitalisation and online connectivity.
    • To diversify exposure away from major technology stocks in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100.
