This investment vehicle is designed to offer targeted exposure to the transformative "Future of Mobility" megatrend. It achieves this by tracking the performance of a global index composed of companies that are substantially engaged in innovations shaping the future of transportation. The portfolio encompasses a wide array of sub-sectors, including the manufacturing of electric and autonomous vehicles, the development of advanced battery technologies and energy storage solutions, the production of critical semiconductors and sensors for self-driving systems, and the creation of software and hardware that facilitates shared mobility and connectivity.
The investment thesis is anchored in several powerful, long-term structural shifts. A global regulatory push towards sustainability and decarbonization is accelerating the transition from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles. Concurrently, rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and connectivity are paving the way for autonomous vehicles to become a reality. This evolution is fundamentally altering the automotive value chain, creating new leaders and disrupting incumbents. This fund provides a comprehensive way to participate in this evolution by investing across the entire ecosystem, capturing opportunities from raw material suppliers to network operators and vehicle manufacturers.
By providing diversified access to this specific high-growth theme, the fund is tailored for investors with a long-term horizon seeking to capitalize on disruptive innovation. It serves as a strategic allocation for those looking to complement a core portfolio with exposure to next-generation industries. As a thematic product, it concentrates on a specific segment of the global equity market, which can lead to higher volatility compared to broader market indices. However, it also presents a compelling opportunity to gain from a structural growth story that is reshaping one of the world's largest industries.
