This fund offers a strategic approach to investing in the dynamic and rapidly growing economies of Asia, while specifically excluding Japan. It provides diversified exposure to a wide range of markets, including major players like China, Taiwan, South Korea, and India, as well as other emerging economies in the region. By holding a portfolio of large and mid-capitalization companies, investors can participate in the key sectors driving Asian growth, such as technology, financials, and consumer-driven industries. This instrument is designed for those seeking to capture the long-term capital appreciation potential fueled by the continent's powerful demographic trends, increasing urbanization, and expanding middle class.

A core feature of this investment is its integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria. The underlying index selects companies that demonstrate leading ESG practices relative to their peers within each sector. This responsible investing screen aims to identify businesses that are better managed and positioned for long-term sustainable growth, while potentially mitigating risks associated with poor corporate governance, environmental liabilities, and social controversies. By focusing on ESG leaders, the strategy provides an opportunity to align investment portfolios with ethical values without sacrificing exposure to one of the world's most important economic regions. The product utilizes a synthetic replication structure, which aims to provide precise tracking of the benchmark index in a cost-efficient manner.
