Investment Policy 

The fund has a policy to invest in equity securities listed on stock exchanges in the United States. The Fund will maintain an average net exposure to such equity securities of no less than 80% of its net asset value over the course of a fiscal year. The fund focuses on investing in the securities of large-cap, liquid companies, with a minimum of 15 such securities held in the portfolio. This number may vary depending on market conditions, events related to specific securities or issuers, or other necessities for the effective management of the Fund.
The criteria for selecting securities for the fund’s portfolio are as follows:
Step 1: Identify companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States.
Step 2: From the list generated in Step 1, select companies with a large market capitalization.
Step 3: Further filter the selected companies based on liquidity, assessed by their average daily trading turnover relative to the size of the fund.
Step 4: Once the above criteria are met, the fund manager will select at least 15 securities for investment, based on the following:
• Prioritizing companies with the largest market capitalization.
• Allocating investments relatively equally across the selected securities.
• Identifying approximately 5–10 reserve securities to serve as alternatives in the event that certain securities become unsuitable or unavailable for investment—for instance, if a security’s liquidity declines relative to the size of the fund. This could potentially lead to a situation where trading significantly impacts the price, or result in events affecting the trading of the securities—such as the imposition of trading restrictions or suspensions, or abnormal volatility stemming from major developments concerning the issuer of the securities.
