The ETF will invest a maximum of 5% of the fund's net asset value in investment-grade money market transactions concluded with a regulated party licensed by the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) or a similar supervisory authority outside the Kingdom, and money market funds licensed by the CMA or a similar regulatory authority, including funds managed by the fund manager, to pay any expenses or financial obligations.
