- Derivative Instruments
- Cash and Cash Equivalents
The core of the fund's investment strategy is to allocate at least 80% of its assets into securities that are part of its underlying index. This approach aims to closely mirror the index's performance, providing investors with a transparent and predictable investment outcome influenced by the movements of the selected index.
Up to 20% of the fund's assets may be invested in futures, options, and swap contracts. These derivative instruments are used to hedge against market volatility, speculate on future movements of the underlying index, or achieve a targeted investment exposure without directly purchasing the underlying assets. This strategy can enhance the fund's ability to manage risk and capitalize on market opportunities.
A portion of the fund's assets may be held in cash and cash equivalents. This liquidity strategy is important for covering redemptions, managing transaction costs, and taking advantage of short-term investment opportunities. It offers the fund flexibility to respond quickly to market changes or to rebalance its portfolio in alignment with its investment objectives.
