The KraneShares Man Buyout Beta Index ETF (Ticker: BUYO) seeks to track the performance of the Man Buyout Beta Index, which is designed to provide exposure to a subset of public equities that feature the key characteristics of companies held in PE/buyout funds. The Index employs a systematic approach to select a portfolio of small to mid-cap stocks, targeting industries favored by PE firms as well as companies that are similar in size and display similar company-specific characteristics as those in traditional PE funds.
