Products and Services

• Fixed Income Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF)

• Diversification and Risk Management

  The fund employs a well-defined risk management strategy by limiting the concentration of investments in any single issuer to 2%. This cap is intended to reduce the overall risk of the portfolio, ensuring that no single issuer's performance can disproportionately impact the fund's returns. The deliberate exclusion of Chinese bonds further defines its market positioning, offering investors a unique opportunity to diversify their fixed income holdings geographically. This serves investors aiming for a balanced risk-return profile, especially those concerned with geographic and issuer concentration risks in the high-yield segment.
