Overview
The fund is an investment entity that primarily focuses on integrating its resources into the burgeoning sector of video gaming and eSports, also recognized as electronic sports. It commits at least 80% of its total assets into securities that are a part of its benchmark index, a global gauge designed to monitor the performance of the international video gaming and eSports market segment.

Products and Services
- Securities Investment
The fund invests a significant portion of its assets, ensuring at least 80%, into securities that are included in its benchmark index. This strategy is designed to mirror the performance of the global video gaming and eSports market, offering investors exposure to this rapidly growing segment.
- Global Index Tracking
The benchmark index tracked by the fund represents the worldwide video gaming and eSports sector. This index is a comprehensive measure of the performance of companies involved in the production, development, and sale of video games, as well as the organization and hosting of eSports events. The tracking of this global index allows the fund to strategically position its investments to benefit from the sector's dynamics.
- Depositary Receipts Investment
A part of the fund's investment strategy involves putting assets into depositary receipts. Depositary receipts represent a specific number of shares—or a fraction of a share—of a foreign-based company's stock, traded on a domestic stock market. This approach allows the fund to diversify its holdings into international territories, tapping into the potential of foreign markets without the complexities of direct investments in foreign exchanges.
- Investment in Foreign Currencies
The fund has the capability to invest in securities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. This not only diversifies the portfolio from a geographical perspective but also introduces currency fluctuation as a factor that can affect returns, both positively and negatively, thus adding a layer of complexity and opportunity to the fund's investment approach.
