An Ambitious Plan for European Sovereignty

The European executive aims to "accelerate investment and production in the defense sector to make the EU more responsive to current security challenges." This plan is part of the launch of the "Readiness 2030" program (formerly "ReArm EU"), with a particularly significant ambition: to unlock up to €800 billion in additional national defense spending.

Key Objectives:

Strengthen the EU's technological and industrial sovereignty
Reduce dependence on external suppliers
Establish a true single market for defense
Encourage innovation in key areas:
- Cyberspace
- Space
- Artificial Intelligence

The FCI Europe Impact Defense Index: A Reference for Investors

In this context, FCI has developed the Europe Impact Defense Index, an essential tool for investors wishing to participate in this collective effort. This index reflects our ability to create relevant thematic indices, as we have already demonstrated with our indices on information technology, artificial intelligence, and longevity issues.

Key Features of Our Index:

Investment universe strictly composed of European companies
Pioneering approach meeting the needs of asset managers

A European Response to Global Challenges

These initiatives demonstrate Europe's determination to acquire the means for its strategic sovereignty. The FCI Europe Impact Defense Index fits perfectly into this dynamic, offering investors a solution aligned with European priorities and regulatory standards.

This collective approach is essential to ensure Europe's security and prosperity in an increasingly complex geopolitical context.
