Products and Services

• Securities Investment

At the core of its investment strategy, the fund commits at least 80% of its total assets, alongside any additional funds borrowed for investment purposes, to securities listed within its targeted index. These securities are carefully selected based on their potential to profit from the growing demand for technologies that both increase renewable energy efficiency and mitigate the detrimental effects of resource usage on the environment.

• ADRs and GDRs Investment

Expanding its investment horizon, the fund invests in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs). These instruments allow the fund to gain exposure to foreign companies that are aligned with their investment thesis but are listed outside of the local exchange. Through ADRs and GDRs, the fund participates in the global market, targeting entities that contribute to environmental sustainability and energy advancement.

• Non-Diversified Portfolio

Adopting a non-diversified investment approach, the fund places a significant portion of its assets into a concise range of securities. This strategy is predicated on the belief that concentrating investments in the renewable energy sector and technologies aimed at reducing environmental harm presents a high potential for growth. By focusing on a select group of companies, the fund seeks to leverage sector-specific advancements and innovations for potential higher gains, albeit with a higher risk due to the lack of diversification.
