The Napoleon World Equities AR Dynamix Fund offers exposure to a unique systematic index that is part of the Dynamix family, launched by Napoleon Capital and administered and calculated by Napoleon Index.
The index is based on underlying strategies that are combined using statistics and artificial intelligence, with the allocation optimized and updated quarterly.
