Top Thematic ETF Advancers — 6 Months

latest close Oct 5

The best half-year. Six months is where a theme either proves itself or hands the advance back, which makes it the most useful of the medium windows. 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.
