BITS

BITS pursues its objective by investing in a mix of equity securities of blockchain companies and long positions on US-listed bitcoin futures. Blockchain companies include those involved in crypto mining, blockchain and digital asset, transactions, applications, hardware and integration, and may include those with direct ownership of digital assets. Such exposure could be obtained directly or indirectly through ETFs, especially those of Global X, while exposure to bitcoin futures is obtained through its wholly-owned Cayman Islands subsidiary which made up roughly 25% of the portfolio. Allocation to these two assets is determined by a variety of criteria. For example, greater exposure could be placed on bitcoin futures during periods of low anticipated cost of carry. Conversely, greater exposure to equities during periods where valuation measures present attractive relative value based on forward price-to-earnings or price-to-sales ratios.
