Overview
The company operates an investment fund focused on the rapidly evolving sectors of robotics and automation. Through its strategic investment approach, the fund primarily allocates at least 80% of its total assets to securities tightly aligned with an index that gauges the performance of companies engaged in robotics-related and automation-related activities. This careful selection aims to provide investors with targeted exposure to innovative sectors poised for growth. The fund's strategy also includes the flexibility to invest up to 20% of its assets in securities outside of the index, chosen by its Adviser and Sub-Adviser for their potential to enhance the fund's adherence to its indexed performance target. Despite its focused investment arena, the fund identifies as non-diversified, indicating a strategy that may involve higher risks and higher rewards due to the concentration of investments in a specific sector.
Products and Services
- Investment in Robotics-Related and Automation-Related Securities
- Investment in Depositary Receipts
- Flexible Investment Strategy
- Non-Diversified Status
The fund dedicates a significant portion of its assets, typically at least 80%, to equities that are within the robotics and automation sectors. This strategy is geared towards capturing the growth and innovation in these industries by investing in companies that are either directly involved in or contribute significantly to robotics and automation technologies.
In its pursuit to track the underlying index as accurately as possible, the fund may also invest in depositary receipts. These financial instruments represent a specified number of shares in a foreign company and are an effective way for the fund to gain exposure to international robotics and automation entities without the complexities of direct investments in foreign markets.
Alongside its core focus, the fund retains the flexibility to invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities not included in its primary index. This strategy allows the fund's Adviser and Sub-Adviser to select additional investments they believe will support the fund's tracking of its index performance, providing a mechanism to potentially improve returns or mitigate risks through diversification outside the primary investment focus.
Despite the breadth of investments in robotics and automation, the fund is classified as non-diversified. This designation reflects a concentrated investment strategy, which, while it carries a higher level of risk, also offers the potential for significant returns by focusing on a specific economic sector believed to have strong growth prospects.
