This investment vehicle offers targeted exposure to the burgeoning field of disruptive materials, which are essential components for a wide range of modern, high-growth industries. These materials, including lithium, cobalt, rare earth elements, copper, and others, form the backbone of transformative technologies such as electric vehicles, renewable energy systems like wind turbines and solar panels, and advanced digital devices. As the global economy pivots towards sustainability and greater technological integration, the demand for these specific raw materials is projected to surge. This fund captures this trend by investing in companies across the entire value chain, from exploration and mining to production and refinement, providing a comprehensive approach to a critical and evolving sector.

The portfolio is designed to track an index focused on companies that are poised to benefit from the increasing importance of these key materials. By investing in a diversified basket of global firms, the fund mitigates the risks associated with single-company exposure while maintaining a pure-play focus on the disruptive materials theme. This strategy allows investors to participate in the long-term structural shifts driving the next wave of industrial and technological innovation. It represents a strategic allocation for those looking to capitalize on the foundational elements underpinning the transition to a greener, more technologically advanced global economy, without needing to pick individual winners in the mining or materials science space.
