Sygnia Itrix New China Sectors ETF

Investment objective and strategy
The objective of the Sygnia Itrix New China Sectors ETF is to provide an investment vehicle that gives easy access to investors who want to achieve long-term capital appreciation tracking the performance of the S&P New China Sectors Index (.SPNCSUP) (“the benchmark”). The S&P New China Sectors Index measures the performance of China- and Hong Kong domiciled companies in consumption- and service-oriented industries. All Chinese share classes, including A-shares and offshore listings, are eligible for inclusion. To achieve this objective, the Sygnia Itrix New China Sectors ETF tracks the S&P New China Sectors Index as closely as is practically and feasibly possible by buying the securities that substantially make up the index in similar weightings to the index. To align its holdings to the benchmark, the portfolio will be rebalanced whenever the index is rebalanced.

A higher TER does not necessarily imply a poor return, nor does a low TER imply a good return. The current TER may not necessarily be an accurate indication of future TER’s. Transaction Costs are a necessary cost in administering the Financial Product and impacts Financial Product returns. It should not be considered in isolation as returns may be impacted by many other factors over time including market returns, the type of Financial Product, the investment decisions of the investment manager and the TER.
