Products and Services

The fund offers a range of investment options centered around sustainable and renewable energy, meticulously selected based on their potential to contribute to an eco-friendlier future:

• Securities of the Underlying Index: A primary focus on investing in the stocks that are part of the selected index which encompasses companies innovating in the clean and renewable energy sector. The fund strategically positions itself in these securities to leverage the growth and advancements in cleaner energy, conservation, and efficiency.
• American Depositary Receipts (ADRs): To enhance its portfolio and offer diversified exposure, the fund invests in ADRs. These are negotiable certificates issued by U.S. banks representing a specific number of shares in a foreign company's stock, allowing the fund to gain exposure to international companies contributing to the renewable energy landscape.
• Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs): Similar to ADRs, GDRs enable the fund to invest in foreign companies through receipts that are traded on international stock exchanges. This broadens the fund’s investment scope to include global leaders and innovators in renewable energy and sustainability that are outside the U.S.
