AIK Investment Objective and Strategy
Defiance Korea AI ETF describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Tidal Trust V.
Investment objective
Defiance Korea AI ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Korea AI Index (the “Index”).
Principal investment strategy
Overview The Fund uses a "passive management" (or indexing) approach to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Index. The Index is designed to provide exposure to South Korean publicly listed companies whose products, services, or technologies support artificial intelligence (“AI”) infrastructure and applications, including companies involved in memory semiconductors, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, advanced packaging, and testing technologies. The Index uses a rules-based methodology developed by Solactive AG (the “Index Provider”) to identify and select such companies. Index Overview: The Index’s initial universe consists of all publicly listed equity securities for which sufficient relevant information is publicly available. The initial universe is screened using the following criteria, based on each company’s financial information for the most recent quarter: A.
Solactive GBS South Korea All Cap USD Index PR : A company must be included in the eligible universe of the Solactive GBS South Korea All Cap USD Index PR on the applicable Selection Day. Under this methodology, a company is assigned to South Korea if its country of primary listing and its country of incorporation are both South Korea. If these two do not match, the Solactive GBS South Korea All Cap USD Index PR applies its rules-based country assignment methodology, which considers the company’s country of domicile and country of risk (i.e. the country in which the company would be influenced the most by potential changes in the business environment as determined by the Index Provider). The “all-cap” designation includes companies of all free-float market capitalizations. B. FactSet Revere Business Industry Classification System (“RBICS”) Requirement : To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, a company must be classified by FactSet RBICS in one of the following industries, each of which is associated with technologies and equipment that support AI infrastructure and application
