KRANESHARES MAN BUYOUT BETA INDEX ETF (USD) BUYO.US

The KraneShares Man Buyout Beta Index ETF is an index-tracking U.S. equity fund whose goal is to deliver exposure to public companies that resemble the kinds of businesses targeted by private equity buyout funds.

It tracks the Man Buyout Beta Index, which begins with the Russell 2500 universe and applies screens for size (small- and mid-cap), industry classification, valuation, growth, profitability, cash flow management, debt capacity, uncertainty and risk, industry dynamics, and investor sentiment to identify firms similar in profile to those private equity firms typically acquire and add value to.

This ETF operates within the small- to mid-capitalization U.S. equity asset class, focusing on sectors commonly favored by buyout funds such as Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary, Industrials, and Health Care.

It does not hold private companies directly or attempt corporate control; instead, it seeks to replicate private equity-like risk-return characteristics through public equity exposure. The vehicle is issued by KraneShares in partnership with Man Group, leveraging Man's liquid PE investment methodologies.

It is structured as an ETF registered in the United States, passively tracking the Man Buyout Beta Index rather than being actively managed in a discretionary sense. Sampling may be used and holdings will resemble the index; under normal circumstances at least 80 % of net assets are invested in the index or instruments with similar economic characteristics.
