“Our funds are designed to challenge the status quo, because we want our investors to feel like the world is their oyster, that everything is possible.”
Kyle Hulett, Head of InvestmentsInvestment objective and strategy
The objective of the Sygnia Itrix MSCI Emerging Markets 50 ETF is to provide an
investment vehicle that gives easy access to investors who want to achieve long term
capital appreciation in tracking the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets 50
(.MXEM50) (“benchmark index”). In order to achieve this objective, the Sygnia Itrix MSCI
Emerging Markets 50 ETF shall track the MSCI Emerging Markets 50 ETF (.MXEM50)
Index as closely as practically and feasibly possible by buying securities that substantially
make up the index at similar weighting as they are included in the Index. Whenever the
Index gets rebalanced, the Portfolio will be rebalanced to align its holdings to that of the
benchmark and to the extent that it’s performance will not deviate from its benchmark.

Risk Profile
The Fund has a 100% strategic allocation to global equities. The risk in the Fund is
managed by spreading investments across countries, sectors and individual shares.
However, the structure of the Fund is dictated by the composition of the MSCI Emerging
Markets 50 Index. The fund is far more liquid than the Parent Index and avoids issues
of instruments that have limited foreign ownership. The focus on larger, more liquid
companies provides an added benefit in terms of risk management.
Who should invest?
The Sygnia Itrix MSCI Emerging Markets 50 ETF has a high risk profile and is designed
to track the Index as closely as possible by buying securities included in the Index at
weightings similar to those in the Index. It is a suitable investment for investors seeking
higher returns, those who are willing to tolerate higher volatility and investors who aim
to maximise capital accumulation over a longer-term time horizon. The investment is
also suitable for investors who wish to maximise their returns in the most cost-effective
manner without the need to select asset managers or take on the risk of active and
subjective investment decision-making processes.
