This fund gives investors access to the handful of innovative companies leading the revolution in semiconductor technology — a key component in almost all electronic devices, and new technology like AI and electric cars.
This fund provides a passive investment into these companies, and was the first semiconductor fund available to European investors.
This fund is exposed to a single thematic sector — semiconductors. The MVIS US Listed Semiconductor 10% Capped Index weights companies based on their size, and they must derive more than 50% of their revenue from the semiconductor industry. Companies are capped at a 10% weighting in the index.
Companies are excluded from the index if they severely violate the UN Global Compact Principles or derive any revenue from Controversial Weapons. Exclusions also apply if a company derives more than 5% of revenue from potentially harmful industries.
This is primarily a thematic fund, as it targets a specific investment theme. It does track an index, making it a passively managed fund, but there are parameters for companies to be included in the index.
Thematic investments don’t tend to give broad market exposure on their own, so should form part of a diverse portfolio.
