Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to aim to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, closely correspond to the performance of price of ether as reflected by CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate - Asia Pacific Variant. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.‎

The Manager intends to enhance the performance of the Fund by staking up to 30% of the ether held in the portfolio of the Fund through SFC licensed virtual asset trading platform, that can perform staking activities on its own or by engaging its affiliates or third party staking service providers. As of the date of this statement, the designated staking service provider is Wancloud Limited, operating as "HashKey Cloud", an affiliate of Hashkey Exchange. Following the deduction of any service fees, staking yields will be reinvested into the Fund. Staking is the process of validating transactions on the blockchain by locking up a committed amount of ether on the blockchain network for the purposes of the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism so as to enhance the network operation. Through participating in staking, the Fund may receive staking rewards, which are in the form of ether, from the Ethereum Network. It is expected that, in general, there is no change in the ownership of the ether held by the Fund during the staking process.

Investor Education

What is Ether? What is the difference between Ether and Ethereum?

Ether (ETH) is the native cryptocurrency of Ethereum, a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that enables smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps). To operate, Ethereum requires computational resources, networking infrastructure, and energy, which are compensated through ETH payments.

Users pay transaction fees (called "gas" fees) in ETH to execute transactions and smart contracts, incentivizing validators to secure the network.

While ETH is the foundational currency of Ethereum, the platform also supports a diverse ecosystem of other tokens, which developers can create for various use cases. These tokens coexist within Ethereum’s broader cryptocurrency network, though ETH remains its core asset, essential for fueling transactions and operations.

What is an Ether Spot ETF?

A Ether Spot ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) is an exchange-traded fund listed on traditional stock exchanges. An ETF is issued and managed by professional fund managers, who directly hold actual Ether spot assets. Before deducting fees and expenses, the ETF aims to provide investment returns closely linked to the Ether index, according to its investment objectives and strategies.

By purchasing shares of a Ether Spot ETF, investors can indirectly hold Ether without having to buy, store, or manage physical Ether themselves.

The main features of an Ether Spot ETF include:

  • Direct Ownership of Bitcoin: The fund’s asset portfolio includes actual bitcoin, and its price is closely tied to the bitcoin market price.

  • Trading Convenience: Investors can buy and sell ETF shares on traditional stock exchanges through brokerage accounts, just like trading stocks, without needing to use a cryptocurrency wallet or exchange.

  • Regulatory Compliance: Ether Spot ETFs operate within a regulatory framework, providing legal protection and transparency for investors.

  • Lower Barriers and Risk: Investors avoid risks associated with directly holding Ether, such as managing private keys, theft risk, and exchange security risks.

  • Good Liquidity: ETF shares can be freely traded during market hours, and typically offer better liquidity compared to certain cryptocurrency exchanges.

In short, a Ether Spot ETF is a regulated investment tool that allows investors to participate in bitcoin price movements easily and securely through traditional financial markets, serving as an important bridge between traditional finance and the cryptocurrency market.
