This fund offers exposure to large and mid-cap companies within the European Monetary Union (EMU) while incorporating stringent environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. The investment approach is designed for those looking to align their portfolio with sustainability objectives by focusing on companies that demonstrate strong ESG performance and are well-positioned for the transition to a low-carbon economy. It systematically excludes companies involved in controversial weapons, severe ESG-related controversies, and specific business activities like tobacco and thermal coal, providing a more socially responsible entry point into the Eurozone equity market.
The core of the strategy is its alignment with the EU's Climate Transition Benchmark (CTB) regulations. This means the underlying portfolio is constructed to achieve a significant reduction in carbon intensity compared to the broader market and is set on a clear year-on-year decarbonization trajectory. The index methodology not only reduces exposure to carbon-intensive sectors but also increases allocation to companies that are actively developing green technologies and sustainable solutions. This forward-looking approach aims to mitigate climate-related risks and capture opportunities arising from the global energy transition.
By investing in this product, individuals can gain diversified exposure to the Eurozone's leading companies that are not only financially robust but also leaders in sustainability. It serves as a core portfolio holding for investors who believe that integrating ESG and climate factors can lead to more resilient long-term returns. The fund provides a transparent and rules-based method to invest in a portfolio that supports the objectives of the Paris Agreement, making it a suitable choice for conscientious investors seeking both financial performance and a positive environmental impact.
