Products and Services

• Securities Investment

Primarily, the fund invests in securities that are part of the targeted index. This includes a broad range of stocks from large- and mid-cap companies across emerging markets, thereby offering investors exposure to diverse economic sectors and geographical regions. The investment approach focuses on securities that represent value, aiming to identify stocks undervalued by the market but have solid fundamentals, promising potential for appreciation.

This focus on emerging markets is central to the fund's strategy, aiming to leverage the higher growth potential of these economies compared to more developed markets. Through investment in a mix of large- and mid-cap companies, the fund seeks to tap into both stable, established entities and more dynamic, growing businesses, striking a balance between risk and reward.

• Factor Strategies: Value, Low Volatility, and Quality

Central to the fund's investment strategy are the value, low volatility, and quality factor strategies. By focusing on value, the fund aims to invest in companies that are priced below their intrinsic value. Low volatility is sought to ensure that the investment maintains steady growth and is less affected by market fluctuations. Quality, on the other hand, focuses on companies with strong balance sheets, consistent earnings, and potential for sustainable growth. Together, these strategies aim to construct a portfolio that seeks to optimize returns while managing risks efficiently.
