Driven by demand from cloud computing and AI, semiconductor sales have skyrocketed in recent months as pressure due to supply chain concerns and inflation has eased. The specialized chips that power these popular technologies are in such high demand that makers of these products now represent three of the 10 largest companies in the world by market capitalization—NVIDIA Corp., Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd.

The fund described focuses on investment in the semiconductor and related technology sectors, highlighting its commitment to dedicating at least 80% of its net assets to securities within these industries. This approach indicates a specialized investment strategy targeting the dynamics and growth potential of semiconductor, semiconductor equipment, and related technology companies. By including entities of any size, from small- to mid-capitalization companies, the fund showcases its flexibility and willingness to explore a broad spectrum of investment opportunities within the tech sector. The mention of it being non-diversified suggests that the fund may concentrate its investments more heavily in fewer holdings, which could imply a higher risk-reward ratio compared to diversified funds.
Investments in securities of companies engaged in the research, design, manufacture, or sale of semiconductors and semiconductor equipment. This could include a wide array of firms, from those creating microchips that power consumer electronics to businesses specializing in the equipment used to produce these semiconductors.
Investments extend to companies involved in related technologies that either support the semiconductor industry or rely heavily on semiconductor technology for their products or services. This broad category can encompass firms focusing on innovative hardware, software solutions, and other emerging tech trends that complement or derive significant value from advances in semiconductor technology.
The fund's inclusion of small- and mid-cap companies allows for potentially higher growth investment opportunities. Investing in these companies suggests a strategy that seeks to capitalize on the nimbleness and innovative capabilities often characterized by smaller firms, especially within the fast-evolving tech and semiconductor sectors.
