Derivative Instruments: Up to 20% of the fund's assets may be allocated towards futures, options, and swaps. These financial instruments are used to manage risk, optimize the fund's performance, or gain exposure to various market conditions without directly purchasing the underlying assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The fund may hold cash or invest in cash equivalents, which include short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. This strategy provides liquidity to meet redemption requests and to take advantage of short-term investment opportunities.
