This investment vehicle offers targeted exposure to the Chinese equity market through a sophisticated, rules-based strategy that integrates both risk management and sustainability criteria. The fund aims to replicate the performance of an index composed of large and mid-cap Chinese companies. The underlying strategy is designed to construct a portfolio with the lowest possible tracking error volatility relative to the broader Chinese market index, while adhering to specific constraints. This approach seeks to provide a more defensive exposure to Chinese equities, potentially mitigating downside risk during periods of market turbulence compared to traditional market-cap weighted approaches.

Beyond its risk-reduction focus, the fund incorporates a robust Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) framework. It systematically excludes companies involved in controversial sectors such as tobacco, controversial weapons, and thermal coal, as well as those that fail to comply with the principles of the United Nations Global Compact. This results in a portfolio that not only aims for risk-adjusted returns but also aligns with the values of socially responsible investors. By combining a low volatility tilt with stringent ESG screening, this fund presents a compelling option for investors looking for a core strategic allocation to China that is both potentially more stable and ethically sound.
