The Fund uses a passive management (or indexing) approach to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Index, The Fund will generally use a replication strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning the Fund will generally invest in all of the component securities of the Index in the same approximate proportions as in the Index. However, the Fund may use a representative sampling strategy, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return, and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return, and other characteristics of the Index as a whole, when the Funds sub-adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Fund (e.g., when replicating the Index involves practical difficulties or substantial costs, an Index constituent becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable, or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations that apply to the Fund but not to the Index)., The Fund generally may invest in securities or other investments not included in the Index, but which the Funds sub-adviser believes will help the Fund track the Index. For example, the Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Index to reflect various corporate actions and other changes to the Index (such as reconstitutions, additions, and deletions).

Arbe-Powered LRR615 Imaging Radar Debuts In China Via Hirain, Offering High Sensitivity And Low False Alarm Rate

On Wednesday, following Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44937440/tesla-q1-misses-estimates-as-tariff-pressures-weigh-on-outlook-lower-cost-evs-still-on-track">first-quarter earnings report</a>, longtime investor and Future Fund managing partner Gary Black voiced skepticism over the company's strategy to offer lower-priced EVs.
What Happened: In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Black expressed concern that these upcoming affordable models will simply be decontented versions of the existing Model 3 and Model Y, rather than entirely new vehicles that could expand Tesla's total addressable market (TAM).
Black stated that Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja said during the call that these vehicles would be "within the [existing] form factor," which reinforced his view that the models may not attract new buyers but instead cannibalize sales of more expensive versions.
Black also criticized Tesla CEO Elon Musk's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44941657/elon-musk-equates-car-ownership-in-future-to-riding-a-horse-while-using-a-flip-phone-pierre-ferragu-says-teslas-iphone-moment-hinges-on-full-autonomy">analogy comparing Tesla's EV strategy</a> to Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) disruption of Nokia Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOK#NYSE">NOK</a>).

He argued that without truly new vehicle types, Tesla risks repeating its 2023-2024 pattern, when price cuts led to steep earnings estimate revisions with little volume growth.
A user on X said that cheap base models don't usually sell well because buyers prefer lightly used, better-equipped versions. The user predicted that the same might happen with Tesla, too.
In response, Black said analysts are currently expecting Tesla's sales declines to ease in the second quarter and even turn positive in the fourth quarter. However, if the affordable car flops or gets delayed, then Tesla's full-year 2025 deliveries could drop even more.
&#8220;Without the new more affordable car, TSLA [deliveries] would likely be revised to -5% to -8% YoY,&#8221; he stated.

Why It's Important: Tesla reported first-quarter revenue of $19.34 billion, marking a 9% decline from the same period last year and falling short of Wall Street's consensus estimate of $21.35 billion.
The EV giant noted that it will revisit its 2025 guidance during the second-quarter update. Despite the revenue miss, Tesla said it maintains sufficient liquidity to support both its current product roadmap and long-term plans for capacity expansion.
Tesla also reaffirmed that its more affordable vehicle models are still on schedule to enter production in the first half of 2025. Additionally, the company announced that volume production of its autonomous Robotaxi, dubbed the Cybercab, is slated to begin in 2026.
Price Action: Tesla shares climbed 5.37% on Wednesday, ending the session at $250.74. However, the stock is still down 33.89% year-to-date, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Tesla holds a growth score of 67.63%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares with other</a> companies in the sector.

Outlook 2025
In response to macro headwinds and uncertainty around trade tariffs, the Company is optimizing its 2025 spending plan and will employ its portfolio optionality. Mitigating actions around capex, portfolio, costs and other cash initiatives are expected to offset over €2 bln of negative scenario effects.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>FY gross capex expected to be below €8.5 bln, down from an initial guidance of around €9 bln; net capex is seen below €6 bln from an initial guidance of 6.5-7 bln.</li>
<li>At a revised scenario of 65 $/bbl for the Brent price, 40 €/MWh for the TTF gas spot price, 3.5 $/bbl for the Standard Eni Refining margin and a EUR vs USD exchange rate of 1.1, the FY Group's CFFO before working capital adjustments is expected to be at €11 bln. This reflects a better outcome than the changes to the reference scenario imply.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Oil and gas production is still expected at 1.7 mln boe/d, assuming a FY Brent price of 65 $/bbl.&nbsp;</li>
<li>FY GGP proforma adjusted EBIT is confirmed at €0.8 bln with an upside to over €1 bln in the event of positive negotiation outcomes and supportive market scenario.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Enilive and Plenitude: o FY proforma adjusted EBITDA respectively of around €1 bln and above €1.1 bln; o End of year installed renewable capacity projected at more than 5.5 GW (Plenitude @100%); biorefinery capacity at 1.65 MTPA plus 1 MTPA under construction.</li>

A new biography on Elon Musk sheds light on the billionaire entrepreneur&#8217;s Icarus moment. Hubris Maximus, by Washington Post technology reporter Faiz Siddiqui, uncovers &#8220;The Shattering of Elon Musk&#8221; across three distinct periods in recent years.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Siddiqui offered a brief glimpse of his upcoming book on Musk, discussing his opinions on CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Squawk Box.&#8221;
Siddiqui says that his book depicts the Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO in three distinct phases, starting with the controversial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/01/30588579/elon-musk-tweets-funding-secured-in-2018-how-much-would-1-000-in-tesla-stock-be-worth-now">&#8220;funding secured&#8221; tweet</a> in 2018, which prompted a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, followed by the COVID-19 era, and then the acquisition of Twitter, or as it&#8217;s now called, X.
See More: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44965461/elon-musks-ex-wife-jumped-into-a-random-thread-to-answer-what-it-takes-to-be-a-billionaire-her-message-the-world-doesnt-care-what-you-want">Elon Musk&#8217;s Ex-Wife Jumped Into a Random Thread To Answer What It Takes To Be a Billionaire — Her Message: The World Doesn&#8217;t Care What You Want</a>
The book describes a pattern that Siddiqui notices with Musk, which often involves a big event, such as the acquisition of Twitter, resulting in public backlash, followed by a quiet period, and then reinvention, with Musk moving on to something else.
According to Siddiqui, his book depicts several instances of individuals who &#8220;fiercely&#8221; and &#8220;devotedly&#8221; believed in Musk&#8217;s promises, and while they still support his goals, they were &#8220;disappointed in the man.&#8221;
Unlike Icarus, the author doesn&#8217;t believe that Musk has, or is going to, crash and burn. What&#8217;s &#8220;shattered&#8221; is essentially the &#8220;veneer on Elon,&#8221; Siddiqui says. &#8220;Elon was unimpeachably our Tony Stark,&#8221; he says, but he doesn&#8217;t think that&#8217;s true anymore, thanks to the tech mogul&#8217;s &#8220;Hubris,&#8221; or exaggerated pride. 
Why It Matters: Recently, Musk&#8217;s behavior and <a href="https://benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/01/42935746/is-elon-musks-mental-health-a-cause-for-concern-biographer-thinks-so">mental health issues</a> came under scrutiny when his biographer, Seth Abramson, voiced his fears.
Musk himself has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/03/37797951/elon-musk-on-ketamine-and-investors-value-if-there-is-something-im-taking-i-should-keep-taking-it">acknowledged and defended</a> his use of prescription Ketamine to treat occasional depressive episodes, adding that the drug has been beneficial for investors in his companies.
Back in 2017, when asked if he was bipolar by a user on Twitter, Musk replied, &#8220;Yeah,&#8221; before adding, &#8220;Maybe not medically [though].&#8221; Around the same time, he tweeted about experiencing &#8220;greater highs, terrible lows, and unrelenting stress,&#8221; hinting at bipolar disorder.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Despite recent turbulence, many investors and analysts continue to express confidence in Elon Musk's leadership and long-term vision. 
On Wednesday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44955303/tesla-stock-is-ripping-higher-wednesday-whats-driving-the-action">Tesla shares rallied</a> after Musk announced he would scale back his involvement in the Department of Government Efficiency starting in May, a market reaction that came in spite of the company's weak first-quarter results.
Analyst Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44945402/wedbushs-dan-ives-raises-teslas-price-target-to-350-as-musk-promises-to-significantly-reduce-doge-time">raised his target</a> for Tesla to $350, a 40% upside from current levels, merely on news of Musk&#8217;s return as a full-time CEO. This comes despite a range of challenges and headwinds now facing the EV giant. This &#8220;removes the black clouds over Tesla,&#8221; Ives said, as he will be &#8220;laser-focused&#8221; on Tesla again. 
Price Action: Tesla shares rallied 5.37% on Wednesday, following the company&#8217;s much-anticipated first quarter earnings, which was released on Tuesday.

Regarding the tariff situation, there could be some short-term disruption. We will continue to utilize the flexibility of our global manufacturing network to minimize impact of the evolving tariff landscape. Based on what we see today, we currently expect a EUR 20 to 30 million impact to our comparable operating profit in the second quarter from the current tariffs. Given the lack of visibility, we have not taken an assumption related to tariffs in the second half of 2025.

Only 15 percent of Americans, ages 18 to 29, think the nation is headed the right way, deepening what researchers call a generational crisis of confidence.
What Happened: The <a href="https://iop.harvard.edu/youth-poll/50th-edition-spring-2025">spring</a> Harvard Youth Poll of 2,096 respondents, aged between 18 and 29 years, found 51 percent believe the country is on the wrong track and 31 percent are unsure. Just 3 percent declined to answer. Trust in Washington is equally sparse, with only 19 percent saying the federal government "does the right thing" most of the time, while fewer than one in three trust Congress, the president, or the Supreme Court.
President Joe Biden still fares better than his successor on the question of who presided over sunnier times. 41 percent say the nation was better off under Biden, compared with 25 percent for former president-turned-incumbent Donald Trump.
Trump's approval rating among young people stands at 31 percent, virtually unchanged from the same point in his first term. Trust in congressional Democrats has tumbled to 23 percent, down from 42 percent in early 2019.

Why It Matters: Data from the Harvard Youth Poll coincides with the release of a new Reuters/Ipsos survey, which finds approval of Trump's handling of the economy and inflation has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44948841/trump-economic-approval-rating-drops-to-37-as-market-selloff-erodes-public-support-poll">slid to 37 percent</a>, down from 42 percent recorded just after his Jan. 20 inauguration. Together, the polls paint a picture of mounting public unease as Trump nears his 100-day mark.
Other gauges echo the turbulence. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44890428/trumps-gallup-approval-stands-at-45-topping-same-point-in-first-presidency-but-hes-down-16-in-economist-survey">Gallup</a> put Trump's overall approval at 45 percent in April — up from 41 percent at the same point in his first term — while an Economist/YouGov survey reported a 16-point plunge since January.

However, the latest Reuters/Ipsos figures suggest a sustained downward trend tied to economic anxieties and jittery financial markets.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent voiced support for fossil fuel development in emerging economies, criticizing the push for renewables-only energy solutions as unrealistic for countries facing basic economic challenges.
What Happened: &#8220;Energy abundance sparks economic abundance,&#8221; Bessent wrote Wednesday on X. &#8220;Developing countries can&#8217;t afford the luxury belief that all energy must be renewable energy.&#8221;
Speaking at the Institute of International Finance Global Outlook Forum during the IMF World Bank Spring Meetings, Bessent emphasized that people in developing nations are &#8220;simply trying to put food on the table—not virtue signal to their friends and colleagues.&#8221;
Bessent called for an &#8220;all-of-the-above approach&#8221; that includes both fossil fuels and renewables where feasible. He stressed that affordable baseload generation, often from gas and other fossil fuels, must be the priority for developing economies to avoid the intermittency problems seen in countries like South Africa.

Why It Matters: His comments align with President Donald Trump&#8216;s broader pivot toward fossil fuel promotion. While some oil and gas executives have criticized Trump&#8217;s &#8220;drill, baby, drill&#8221; agenda as creating uncertainty, the administration has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/03/44522105/oil-and-gas-executives-rebuke-trumps-drill-baby-drill-agenda-we-want-more-stability">pushed forward with fossil fuel-friendly policies</a>.
The administration has already moved to cut nearly $10 billion in clean energy funding that would impact projects with Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Occidental Petroleum Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44882365/trumps-energy-department-mulls-cutting-billions-in-clean-energy-funds-threatening-exxon-occidental-projects">according to recent reports</a>.
These policy shifts mark a significant reversal from previous climate-focused agendas. U.S. oil production reached 13.5 million barrels per day in March, up from 12.8 million in December, reflecting the administration&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/04/44903411/trumps-2025-energy-policy-a-resurgence-of-fossil-fuel">emphasis on domestic energy production</a>.

Nokia 2025 Guidance: Expects €1.9B–€2.4B Comparable Operating Profit, Free Cash Flow At 50%–80%; Flags Unexpected Charge In Mobile Networks

Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google is reportedly telling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32773735/after-meta-google-issues-notice-to-bring-employees-back-to-office">some remote employees</a> to adopt a hybrid schedule or accept a voluntary exit package as part of a broader cost-cutting effort.
What Happened: Several teams within Google have notified remote workers that their jobs may be at risk if they do not begin working from the office at least three days per week, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/23/google-teams-are-including-remote-workers-in-their-cuts.html">reported</a> CNBC, citing internal documents.&nbsp;
The directive applies even to employees who were previously approved for fully remote work.
Units including Google Technical Services and People Operations are enforcing stricter in-office requirements. Workers living within 50 miles of a Google office must now follow a hybrid schedule or face job elimination.
In some cases, the company is offering one-time relocation payments to employees who agree to move closer to an office.
Google spokesperson Courtenay Mencini said the policy is being implemented at the team level rather than across the company.&nbsp;
"In-person collaboration is an important part of how we innovate and solve complex problems," she said in a statement to the publication.
Google did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.

Why It&#8217;s Important: The shift follows voluntary exit programs announced earlier this year, affecting groups such as Android, Chrome, Fitbit, and Nest, where remote status was reportedly a factor in restructuring decisions.
Last year in October, during a town hall meeting, Google had assured employees it would not adopt the strict return-to-office policy implemented by Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>).
Meanwhile, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) has reportedly introduced updated performance management policies, which include a two-year rehire ban for employees <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44917739/microsoft-cracks-down-on-underperformers-with-new-policies-including-two-year-rehire-ban-report">deemed underperforming</a>.
Price Action: Alphabet Inc. Class A shares ended Wednesday at $155.35, gaining 2.56%, and edged up another 0.30% in after-hours trading. Class C shares closed at $157.72, up 2.48%, with a further after-hours increase of 0.43%, based on <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Per Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Alphabet currently holds a growth score of 64.44%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares</a> to other companies in the sector.
