The fund is classified as a financial product with a sustainable investment objective as described in Article 9 of EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation. The fund invests in European companies that pursue a sustainable development policy. Selection of these companies combines the analysis of environmental, social (e.g. human rights, non-discrimination, the issue of child labour) and governance factors with a financial performance. The fund uses active management to target companies with sustainable business models, focusing on products and services delivered, with maximum stock level overweight limits maintained relative to the benchmark. The fund also aims for lower carbon footprint than the benchmark. Its stock level composition will therefore materially deviate from the benchmark.

The fund may also include investments into securities that are not part of the benchmark universe. In the stock selection process the fund makes use of fundamental and ESG analysis and also excludes investments in companies involved in activities including but not limited to, the development, production, maintenance or trade of controversial weapons, the production of tobacco products, thermal coal mining and/or oil sands production. Further, more stringent restrictions are applicable for investments in companies involved in activities related to gambling, weapons, adult entertainment, fur & specialty leather, Arctic drilling and shale oil & gas. Measured over a period of several years we aim to beat the performance of the benchmark MSCI Europe NR. The benchmark is a broad representation of our investment universe. You can sell your participation in this fund on each (working) day on which the value of the units is calculated, which for this fund occurs daily. The fund does not aim to provide you with a dividend. It will reinvest all earnings.
