The fund is an investment vehicle focusing on generating returns through investments in preferred securities that exhibit high yield characteristics. It commits at least 80% of its total assets in the securities that form part of its underlying index as well as in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) that are based on the securities in the underlying index.

Products and Services
This fund offers a specialized investment opportunity through two main financial instruments:
- Securities of the Underlying Index: These are primarily selected based on their high-yield characteristics among the preferred securities listed in the United States. The fund allocates at least 80% of its total assets to these securities, following a rigorous selection criterion managed by the Index Administrator, Solactive AG. This enables the fund to focus on securities that are expected to offer better returns compared to regular securities.
- American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs): In addition to direct investments in the securities forming the underlying index, the fund also invests in ADRs and GDRs. These are financial instruments that allow the fund to hold shares in foreign companies that are traded on U.S. stock exchanges, thus potentially diversifying its investment portfolio beyond the domestic market. The ADRs and GDRs chosen for investment are those based on the securities in the underlying index, providing a consistent investment focus aligned with the fund’s high-yield strategy.
