The index focuses on providing investors with access to a globally diversified portfolio that is concentrated in the water transportation industry. This approach is rooted in a rules-based strategy aiming to invest primarily in companies within the global shipping sector. By dedicating at least 80% of its net assets, in addition to any borrowings for investment purposes, towards these Global Shipping Companies, the fund positions itself as a niche investment vehicle within the broader transportation and logistics investment sphere. Given its non-diversified nature, the fund leans heavily on the performance and growth of the shipping industry, making it a targeted choice for investors looking to capitalize on the dynamics of global trade and maritime logistics.
This product offers investors exposure to a carefully selected and managed portfolio of companies involved in the water transportation sector worldwide. By focusing on the shipping industry, the fund aims to tap into the economic cycle and growth potential associated with global trade, freight, and logistics, providing an investment avenue closely tied to the expansion and contractions of international commerce.
While the primary focus is on following a rules-based index connected to the global shipping industry, the fund reserves the flexibility to invest in securities or other financial instruments that are not part of the index. This strategy enables the fund's investment adviser to make tactical investments outside of the index's scope, aiming to optimize performance and more closely align the fund's holdings with its benchmark. These decisions are based on a comprehensive assessment of potential investments that could enhance the fund's ability to track the intended index, providing a layer of strategic oversight beyond the index's parameters.
