The fund primarily focuses on investing a minimum of 80% of its total assets in securities that form part of its benchmark index, which predominantly includes equity securities and depositary receipts of companies operating within the global oil refining sector. This index is specifically designed to track the performance of companies actively engaged in crude oil refining, requiring that these companies derive at least 50% of their revenues from this sector. It is important to note that the fund is non-diversified, meaning it may invest more heavily in a smaller number of companies or sectors, potentially increasing its risk and return volatility.
