Global X Blockchain ETF (BKCH39)

Overview

The aforementioned fund specializes in investing primarily in securities and depositary receipts that are tied to the progress and development of blockchain technology. A significant portion, specifically at least 80%, of its total assets, along with any borrowings for investment purposes, is allocated in securities within its index as well as in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) that are based on the securities of the underlying index. This underlying index is intricately designed to tap into companies that have the potential to benefit from the advancement of blockchain technology, positioning the fund as a forefront investor in the blockchain space. Despite its concentrated focus, it is noteworthy that the fund operates as a non-diversified entity, meaning it might invest more heavily in fewer securities, therefore potentially increasing its risk and return profile.
