This actively managed fund offers targeted exposure to a basket of strategic metals, which are fundamental components of the ongoing global energy transition and broader technological advancements. The portfolio focuses on materials critical for building a more sustainable, low-carbon economy. This includes key battery metals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel, which are essential for electric vehicles and energy storage systems, as well as rare earth elements and other industrial metals vital for renewable energy infrastructure like wind turbines, solar panels, and the broader electronics supply chain.

The investment strategy is implemented by gaining exposure to a diversified basket of commodity futures through total return swaps. Being actively managed, the portfolio is not bound to a specific index, allowing the investment manager flexibility to dynamically adjust the composition of the basket. This approach enables the fund to adapt to evolving market conditions, shifts in technological demand, and changes in the supply-and-demand dynamics of these niche materials. Furthermore, this specific share class incorporates a currency hedging mechanism to mitigate the potential impact of exchange rate volatility between the U.S. dollar and the British pound.

The fund provides a distinct investment opportunity for those looking to align their portfolio with long-term, structural megatrends like decarbonization and electrification. It allows for a more direct investment in the raw materials underpinning these themes, differing from investing in mining company equities which carry company-specific risks. It is designed for investors seeking to capitalize on the anticipated growth in demand for these 'metals of the future' as the world increasingly shifts towards cleaner energy and more advanced technologies.
