Akros SCHK HK-U.S. Critical Minerals Index

The index pairs a Hong Kong sleeve of Stock Connect Southbound-eligible stocks with a U.S. sleeve of NYSE-, NASDAQ-, and AMEX-listed stocks at a fixed 62%/38% split. Akros's NEXUS engine selects the top 15 names per sleeve by relevance to the critical minerals value chain, from mining through processing and materials, filling any shortfall by market capitalization. Constituents are weighted by market value within each sleeve, subject to a 10% individual cap, and the index is rebalanced semi-annually.
