Overview
The company focuses on providing an investment product that aims to mirror the performance of the MSCI US Investable Market Index/Information Technology 25/50. This index encompasses a broad range of stocks from large, mid-size, and small U.S. companies within the information technology sector, classified under the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS). The investment strategy of the company is centered around an indexing approach, where it strives to invest all of its assets directly into the stocks constituting the index. The objective is to maintain each stock in the investment portfolio in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the targeted index, thereby attempting to replicate the index’s performance as closely as possible. Despite focusing on a specific sector, the fund is categorized as non-diverse, meaning it invests heavily in the information technology sector without spreading its investment across a wide array of sectors.
