Given the constant development of new&#13;<br \/>\ntechnologies, it is unsurprising that new technology companies are sprouting. We&#13;<br \/>\nbegan this process of bridging the gap between prominent players of the new &#8216;Big&#13;<br \/>\nTech&#8217; and our investors back in 2019. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The resulting outcome has&#13;<br \/>\nbeen fulfilling for our investors in many ways; from portfolio diversification&#13;<br \/>\nto the exploration of a new investment universe beyond the traditional&#13;<br \/>\ninvesting realm, and so, demand for similar offerings has risen. We are glad to&#13;<br \/>\nintroduce the Fund to the market where investors who were not able to&#13;<br \/>\nparticipate previously will have an opportunity to do so this time&#8221;, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Fund&#8217;s focus on&#13;<br \/>\nfrontier technological breakthroughs signifies Kenanga Investors&#8217; journey to a sustainable&#13;<br \/>\ninvesting roadmap, &#8220;Frontier&#13;<br \/>\ntech represents a multitude of opportunities in boosting the development curve&#13;<br \/>\nof the future, from utilisation of technologies to reduce carbon emissions, new&#13;<br \/>\nmedical discoveries to propel patient empowerment to the democratisation of&#13;<br \/>\nfinancial services, the advent of frontier tech will allow for greater societal&#13;<br \/>\nbenefits and driving sustainable returns.&#8221; De Alwis explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"_63d7c6az4pwd\"\/>The Fund feeds into the Ericsenz Frontier Fund and is suitable for&#13;<br \/>\nsophisticated investors who have medium to long-term investment horizons.
