GAST is designed to provide segmented exposure to the broad technology sector by focusing on US-listed companies in the robotics and AI industry. The fund actively invests in leading firms related to automation, including industrial and service automation, cobotics, robotics, artificial intelligence, unmanned vehicles, and related equipment, technology, and services. It selects discounted equity securities with potential for price appreciation in aiming for capital growth, by considering fundamental factors, economic and political outlooks, as well as individual corporate developments. GAST is a non-transparent ETF and does not provide daily disclosure of its portfolio holdings unlike other ETFs. As such, there is a risk that shares of the fund may trade at wider spreads, especially during periods of volatility. The fund instead provides a verified intraday indicative value throughout the day, which provides correlated per-share value that can be compared to the current market price.
