'Other' primarily includes banks, insurance companies, government, pension funds, and sovereign wealth funds.A&D OwnershipWe have analyzed public ownership filings in order to determine investor interest across ourcoverage universe as of March 31. Overall for aerospace and defense, we estimate long-onlyownership trended lower, while hedge fund ownership remained relatively flat in Q1 as apercentage of total stock ownership.Among our A&D coverage, we estimate the aero stocks are held by a higher proportion of long-only investors (35%) than defense investors (29%). We estimate that the largest hedge fundownership (10%) is also more weighted towards aerospace. Meanwhile, defense stocks have ahigher index fund ownership share (45%), implying potential upside if active investors turnmore positive. Our data represents the latest company filings, with ownership data mostly as of3/31/2025. FIGURE 2.

Hedge funds own a larger share of defense andservices, and an equal share of aero.If investors were to hold market-weighted portfolios with no active positions, we would expecttheir ownership share of each stock to be roughly equal to their ownership share across all ofA&D. We therefore calculate the relative over / (under)exposure of each fund type to individualstocks as follows:𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒=%𝑜𝑤𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑝𝑜𝑓𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑐𝑘%𝑜𝑤𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑝𝑜𝑓𝑎𝑙𝑙𝐴&𝐷𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑐𝑘𝑠−1For example, we estimate long-only investors hold ~38% of Boeing’s stock. This is above the~34% average ownership of our A&D coverage universe by long-only investors. We thereforeestimate that long-only investors are ~11% overexposed to BA ((~38/ ~34) - 1). 3 FIGURE 8.
