The Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility ETF tries to reflect the performance of the Solactive Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index, which include companies that McKinsey & Company has classified as Future Mobility.

These companies include those engaged in the electric vehicles production, autonomous driving, shared mobility, lithium and copper production, lithium-ion/lead acid batteries, hydrogen fuel cell manufacturing and electric infrastructure businesses.

So the underlying index follows a type of equally weighted, laddered breakdown.
