An ETP offers a basket of exchange-traded produ9cts that is designed by the investment manager to give investors a broader, more balanced access to a sector of interest. The manager will organize for liquidity, manage pricing, book trades and create an indexed price for simple valuation.

For the Amun Crypto Basket Index (SIX: HODL), investors get exposure to the four most liquid digital currencies according to market capitalization but with smaller shares of other coins as well. Bitcoin comprises the largest share of the HODL ETP at 48%, followed by XRP (30%), Ethereum (17.6%), and smaller shares of Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin.
