Products and Services

• Advanced Composites

  These are materials formed from two or more distinct phases to achieve properties that are superior to those of the individual components alone. Advanced composites are pivotal in a myriad of applications, including but not limited to aerospace and automotive sectors, where strength-to-weight ratio is critical for performance and fuel efficiency. Investing in companies specializing in advanced composites enables the ETF to support innovations that drive the next generation of transportation and equipment technology.

• Nano-materials

  Nano-materials refer to substances that have at least one dimension in the nano-scale, typically under 100 nanometers. Their incredibly small size bestows unique electrical, chemical, and mechanical properties, making them indispensable in the advancement of electronics, healthcare, and clean energy. The focus on nano-materials within this ETF underscores the significance of microscopic scale innovations in producing macroscopic impacts across multiple industries, fostering developments that lead to more efficient and sustainable technologies.

• Lightweight Metals

  Investment in companies producing or developing lightweight metals is another cornerstone of the PA CSI New Materials ETF. Lightweight metals such as aluminum, titanium, and magnesium alloys play a crucial role in reducing the weight of vehicles and aircraft, which in turn enhances fuel efficiency and reduces carbon emissions. By channeling funds into the exploration and application of these materials, the ETF assists in propelling the automotive and aerospace industries towards greener and more economically viable futures.
