The Fund's objective is to achieve approximately the same investment return before expenses as the performance of the Ukrainian equities index of the Ukrainian Stock Exchange, both in the rising and falling market. According to the traditional classification, the Fund can be classified as the “index fund”.

To achieve the investment objective, the Fund will adhere to the strategy of passive management. Such strategy includes following principles.

Firstly, the Fund’s portfolio is constructed to match or track the components of the benchmark index. Because at a certain moment the Fund’s portfolio structure may not match the structure of the index basket due to the effect of market factors, it is allowed for the deviation of share of any security in the Fund’s assets from the share of this security contained in the index basket within 2 percentage points. In case of change of the index basket structure, the Fund will attempt to adjust its portfolio in line with the new index basket composition.

Secondly, the Fund will attempt to minimize operating expenses and maintain low portfolio turnover, unless it contradicts the Fund’s objectives.

The Fund will allocate no more than 5% of its assets to cash. Dividends received during the period of holding securities in the portfolio will be used for covering Fund’s expenses and directed to additional issues. The Fund does not stipulate dividends payment to the owners of investment certificates.

The Fund suits different categories of investors:

1). Long-term individual investors with long investment horizon receive index fund with transparent asset structure, investment strategy that minimizes the risk of failure to outperform the benchmark index by asset managers, and low operating expenses. Individual traders receive liquid instrument for intraday trading, hedging and arbitrage.

2) Institutional investors receive liquid, transparent and simple asset, which tracks the equity market performance and can be used for different portfolio strategies and hedging risks.
