KWEB ISSUER
Krane Funds Advisors, LLC, the issuer of KWEB, operates under the premise of investing a substantial portion of its net assets in instruments mirroring its Underlying Index, designed to gauge the performance of publicly traded China-based companies primarily involved in Internet and Internet-related sectors. These China Internet Companies are identified based on criteria set by the index provider, China Securities Index Co., Ltd., encompassing entities incorporated, headquartered, or generating significant revenue in mainland China. The index methodology excludes securities with low trading value or market capitalization. KWEB may also allocate up to 20% of its assets to non-index instruments deemed by Krane as conducive to tracking the Underlying Index. These can include various equity securities, derivative instruments, and other investment companies. The Underlying Index is diverse, spanning different types of China-related securities such as A-Shares, B-Shares, H-Shares, N-Shares, P-Chips, Red Chips, and S-Chips. While the Fund reserves the option to replicate the Underlying Index, it generally utilizes representative sampling. As of May 31, 2023, the Underlying Index comprised 32 securities, with significant sector concentration in Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary. It's noteworthy that the Fund, being non-diversified, reflects the concentration of the industries within the Underlying Index, thus potentially subjecting investors to sector-specific risks. Additionally, the Fund may engage in securities lending as part of its strategy.
