Top Thematic ETF Advancers — 1 Year

latest close Oct 5

The best twelve months. A full year covers at least one earnings cycle and usually one scare, so what is still near the top here has been tested. Narrowed to the thematic equity funds — AI and robotics, semiconductors, cybersecurity, clean energy, defence and the rest. Concentrated portfolios by construction, which is why they fill both ends of a leaders table more often than the broad market does. Each row is dated to its own market’s last session. Tadawul is shut on Friday while ADX trades, so a single date over the table would file a Saudi fund’s Thursday move under a Friday heading.
