ESN aims to reflect an index composed of key blue-chip companies in the US. The fund primarily holds all 40 securities comprising the index, but with the flexibility to adjust holdings under specific conditions. Security selection is conducted by a committee that evaluates companies using a qualitative approach, focusing on their significance and stability across sectors such as technology, consumer goods, energy, and healthcare. The committee ensures diversified representation by selecting firms that are essential to the countrys economy.
