Q: After recent developments in Ukraine-Russia war, Russia now treating NATO as a direct enemy, so we are are going to see significant escalation in cyber war activities, meaning more money is going to be spend on cyber security. To capitalize on this, I would like to invest in one of these three cybersecurity ETFs. I am leaning towards BUG because it has higher concentration of security names, two other ETFs have many cloud/infrastructure holdings (e.g. Cisco, Cloudflare, etc.) that have little to do with cybersecurity. Yet, BUG is the smallest out of 3 ETFs and it has very high average P/E ratio... Which ETF do you recommend and what's you reasoning for the choice? Thanks.

Q: I am considering a cyber security ETF. There seem to two based in the US (HACK & CIBR)and one Canadian that can be hedged or not hedged (CYBR & CYBR.B).

The Canadian listed ones don't seem to have much volume but are also pretty new.

Would you have a preference or one that you would recommend?
