Specifically, LDGR is backed by a proprietary artificial intelligence algorithm that allows it to invest in global equity securities of companies that are investing in the research and development of blockchain technologies.

“We're doing the work for investors, using our in-depth industry knowledge to provide Canadians with an innovative suite of investment options that help them invest in new technology even if they're not an expert."
