CZAR aims to mirror the performance of the Solactive Natural Monopoly Index, which includes global companies perceived to have a strong competitive edge within their sectors. The fund is focused on large- and mid-cap companies that meet certain requirements. This includes being part of a broader Solactive index aimed at Developed Markets, maintaining an average daily value traded, and meeting volume and free-float market capitalization percentage criteria. Stock selection for the fund is then based on fundamental financial metrics such as sales, profit margin, return on equity, inventory/total assets, and intangible assets/total assets. The top five firms within each sector are then chosen for the index. Weighting is designed to be sector-neutral, taking into consideration the free-float market capitalization of the index. Securities are then weighted equally within sectors, ensuring balanced exposure. CZAR is rebalanced seven business days after the semi-annual Selection Days in June and December.
