About this ETF
The KMLM fund strives for overall capital appreciation by strategically employing both long and short positions, informed by daily trading signals, across futures contracts in commodities, currencies, and global fixed income. For tax efficiency, KMLM accesses futures markets through a wholly-owned subsidiary situated in the Cayman Islands, rather than holding the contracts directly. Annually, an index committee selects 22 distinct futures contracts from these three broad asset categories. The weighting assigned to each of the three categories is determined by their historical volatility, with all contracts within a chosen category being equally weighted. The portfolio is rebalanced on a monthly basis, and contracts are rolled over on a market-specific schedule as they approach expiration. The fund also has the discretion to invest in instruments not part of the index, including equities or various derivatives such as swaps, forwards, structured notes, and options. Historically, the fund was actively managed before April 1, 2022, and was known as the KFA Mount Lucas Index Strategy ETF until November 10, 2022. A future rebranding is scheduled for August 1, 2024, at which point "KFA" will be replaced by "KraneShares" in the fund's name.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
