These financial statements and financial highlights are hereinafter collectively referred to as financial statements. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations, and changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for the period from July 1, 2019 (date of inception) to December 31, 2019, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 1 www.hogantaylor.com Other Matter Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The supplementary information on investments purchased and sold for the period from July 1, 2019 (date of inception) to December 31, 2019, following the schedule of investments, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

  • Credit Perspectives: Making Waves with 5G

    Credit Perspectives: Making Waves with 5G

    HSBC Global Asset Management Credit Perspectives April 2019 Making waves with 5G Companies have been quick to tout the rise and development of 5G technologies. But, is 5G really changing the tide in telecommunications? Annika Rohweder, Credit Analyst for Global Credit, examines the real impact of 5G on the telecommunications sector and user experience. 5G is the fifth generation wireless technology, the successor to 4G. The main potential benefits of 5G are improved speed, reduced latency and higher capacity, which means that differences between wired and wireless communications will narrow. Offsetting these benefits is lower coverage as 5G is expected to rely primarily on mid- and high-frequency spectrum bands. High-frequency spectrum offers faster speeds in its coverage area, but has limited reach. This means that more network equipment will be required to cover the same area under 5G technology than under 4G, making large-scale build out more capital-intensive. A nationwide 5G build-out in the US would cost north of USD 10bn, excluding spectrum costs, which would likely be as high, if not higher. As a result, 5G will be limited to dense urban areas, at least initially and will likely be used together with 4G for the foreseeable future. Possible applications of 5G include fixed wireless 5G as an alternative to home broadband, enhancements in mobile communications, and machine-to-machine communications (M2M) or internet of things (IoT): Fixed wireless applications will be used to replace wired home broadband by installing antennas outside the home, hence foregoing last mile wiring, an often costly pursuit. Home broadband trials by mobile phone carriers, led by Verizon, have already started.
