The company is dedicated to investing in the cybersecurity sector, deploying a strategy that focuses on allocating at least 80% of its total assets towards securities that are listed on an underlying index. This underlying index is specifically curated to track companies that stand to gain from the growing adoption of cybersecurity technologies. The investment scope extends beyond direct securities to include American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), which are based on the securities in the underlying index. This approach allows the fund to participate in the global cybersecurity market, despite being a non-diversified fund. The targeted investment in cybersecurity is indicative of a specialized focus, aiming to leverage the sector's expansion and increasing relevance in both the digital and physical realms.
The company's product and service offerings are centered around its primary investment vehicle, which consists of:
- The core of the fund's portfolio comprises securities that are parts of the underlying index. These securities represent companies that are at the forefront of cybersecurity technology and services. Through this strategic investment, the fund aims to capitalize on the sector's growth and provide its investors with substantial returns tied to the performance of these companies.
- To offer a wider exposure and facilitate easy access to foreign markets, the fund includes ADRs and GDRs in its investment strategy. ADRs and GDRs are certificates issued by banks that represent shares in foreign companies, but are traded on local stock exchanges. Investing in these instruments allows the fund to diversify its portfolio beyond direct securities, embracing the international dimension of the cybersecurity industry.
