Assets in the Fund have doubled since April, with the $200 million milestone arriving less than two weeks after JEDI announced it was the first ETF with indirect exposure to Shield AI, the privately held autonomy company behind the Hivemind AI pilot and the V-BAT aircraft. MIAMI, Aug. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Defiance ETFs today announced that the Defiance Drone & Modern Warfare ETF (NYSE: JEDI) has surpassed $200 million in assets under management as of August 21, 2026, less than eleven months after the Fund's September 25, 2025 launch.
Defiance Drone and Modern Warfare ETF (JEDI) targets companies at the forefront of drone, AI, and modern defense technologies, with a strong small/mid-cap tilt. JEDI benefits from a structural global defense spending inflection, driven by real-world conflicts and NATO's commitment to 5% of GDP by 2035. Given concentration, small-cap exposure, and short history, I rate JEDI a HOLD, balancing long-term thematic appeal with notable risks.
