It achieves this by investing at least 80% of its net assets, along with any borrowings for investment purposes, in a mix of financial instruments. These instruments include swap agreements, securities that are part of the index, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that follow the index. The specific index targeted by the fund is designed to measure the performance of the aerospace and defense sector within the U.S. equity market. Notably, the fund adopts a non-diversified investment strategy, concentrating its assets to maximize returns from the aerospace and defense industry.
