About
This ETF aims to mirror the performance of an index comprising global companies that produce metals and other raw materials deemed crucial for the advancement of groundbreaking technologies. To qualify, companies must typically generate at least 50% of their income from activities like exploring, extracting, manufacturing, or refining materials across ten distinct categories, including rare earth elements, lithium, copper, and carbon fiber. However, companies that are not yet revenue-generating may still be eligible if classified as Pre-Revenue Disruptive Materials Companies. For firms primarily involved with lithium, those deriving between 25% and 50% of their revenue from this material can also be included as Diversified Lithium Companies. A sophisticated natural language processing algorithm is utilized to identify and rank suitable equities. From each material category, the five highest-ranked companies—covering both established disruptive material producers and pre-revenue entities—are chosen. The fund implements a modified market-capitalization weighting methodology to promote portfolio diversification. The index itself is re-evaluated and adjusted twice annually.
