126% Growth in This Sector Is Just the Beginning

by Matthew Carr

Next year, the U.S. federal cybersecurity market is expected to hit $18 billion. It should grow to $22 billion by 2022.

The U.S. government makes up a huge slice of that pie. We spend more on cybersecurity than any other country in the world. This year, Obama earmarked $14 billion in the budget for it.

The global cybersecurity market hit $75 billion in 2015. By 2020, it’ll more than double to $170 billion. That’s a compound annual growth rate of 9.8% - more than double the 4.7% increase the market saw from 2014 to 2015.

A Pure Play for the "World War 3.0" Cyber Arms Race

By MICHAEL A. ROBINSON

he U.S. National Security Agency's internal team of elite hackers, the Equation Group, suffered a breach this summer.

A hacker collective known as the Shadow Brokers made off with quite a digital haul of cutting-edge, next-gen malware like Duqu and Flame, and – you got it – the code for Stuxnet.

It may only be a matter of time before Stuxnet is used against the United States or one of its allies, and considering the very real physical havoc this worm is capable of creating (it literally left Iran's centrifuges a smoking ruin), we may not have long to wait for the first flesh-and-blood casualties of this global secret war.

According to security firm McAffee Inc., cybertheft is a $400 billion-a-year industry.

And consulting firm PwC reports that there were nearly 60 million discovered attacks last year – more than 164,383 each day.

Christmas ETFs to Buy: PureFunds ISE Cyber Security ETF (HACK)

Expenses: 0.75%
YTD Gain: 7.1%

The recent hacks of Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO) and DropBox highlight that growing need for more cybersecurity spending.

These high-profile hacks and other recent examples are helping push the PureFunds ISE Cyber Security ETF (NYSEARCA:HACK) to new 52-week highs. Highs that should continue during the fourth quarter.

HACK tracks a basket of software and hardware firms dedicated to stopping cyber threats and recovering lost data/information. It’s a fast growing industry and one that will see higher private sector and government spending in the years ahead. In the meantime, HACK’s basket of 35 stocks is enjoying the limelight of recent cyberattacks.

Moreover, M&A activity should continue to boost the firm’s holdings. While there are a few larger firms in the mix — such as Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) — the bulk are smaller.

With many major tech firms — like CSCO — looking to beef-up their cybercrime offerings, HACK’s small caps should see premiums to their current values.

The combination of rising buyout activity and big-time spending on cybersecurity should make HACK one of the best ETFs for the next few months.
