Smart US Technology (NZD Hedged) ETF — Investor Relations & Filings

The Smart US Technology (NZD Hedged) ETF provides exposure to the performance of the United States technology sector by tracking a benchmark of US-listed technology companies. The fund invests in a diversified portfolio encompassing various sub-sectors, including software, hardware, semiconductors, and internet services. Its primary objective is to replicate the returns of an index such as the MSCI US Investable Market Index (IMI) Information Technology 25/50 Index. A defining characteristic of the fund is its currency hedging mechanism, which is designed to mitigate the impact of exchange rate volatility between the New Zealand Dollar and the United States Dollar. This strategy aims to ensure that investment returns are primarily driven by the performance of the underlying technology assets rather than fluctuations in currency markets.
