index starting with currently 98 companies from ten branches
This task is the independent index provider Alpha 8 Partners and Solactive and UBS have placed as Issuer and in a first step, identified ten sectors, where disruptive potential is awarded: robotics and automation, 3D printing, Cyber Security, Material Science & amp; Battery technology, Cloud Computing & amp; Big Data, Social Networks & amp; Mobile Computer Technology, Biotechnology & amp; Genetics, water and waste technology, solar energy and LED & amp; Lighting technology. A much-quoted example of disruption comes from the music industry: Provides the development of MP3 technology in itself does not represent disruption, this was made possible by the rapid dissemination and marketing of its players.

ZertifkateReport Upshot:. Diversified on the technical standards of tomorrow and beyond set – which allows the present index certificate. Investors invest here but not in low-capitalized start-ups, but consistently in the highly capitalized global players in these sectors. The risk should therefore correspond approximately to that of a market-wide technology index
