KOIN begins its portfolio construction by screening companies from developed and emerging markets using an NLP algorithm. Then, stocks are grouped into two stakeholder categories: Digital Asset Providers (companies that use technology to increase operational sciences, optimize settlement processes, enhance the customer experience, increase data security/integrity and create digital assets) or Solutions Providers (companies that assist in the adoption and implementation of the latest technologies and applications). Index components are selected based on their proprietary sentiment score rankings. Additionally, they are capped in order to limit overconcentration to a certain category and weighted equally. Prior to Dec. 16, 2021, the fund was known as Capital Link NextGen Protocol ETF and tracked the ATFI Global NextGen Fintech Index. It also previously had exposure focused on the blockchain theme.
