This investment vehicle offers targeted exposure to the dynamic growth potential of Asian emerging markets while adhering to stringent sustainability principles. It is designed for investors who wish to align their portfolios with the global transition to a low-carbon economy. The strategy focuses on large and mid-cap companies across various Asian emerging economies. By integrating specific environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria, the portfolio is constructed to include companies with superior sustainability profiles and to avoid those involved in controversial business activities or industries that are misaligned with climate objectives.
The underlying index employs a multi-layered screening process based on socially responsible investing (SRI) values and climate-related metrics. It systematically excludes companies with significant involvement in sectors such as controversial weapons, tobacco, and fossil fuels. Furthermore, the methodology is aligned with the Paris Agreement's climate goals, aiming for a significant reduction in carbon intensity compared to the broader market. This "Paris-Aligned Benchmark" (PAB) approach ensures the portfolio is on a clear decarbonization trajectory, overweighting companies that are either leading in the climate transition or providing green solutions.
This approach provides a dual benefit: participating in the economic expansion of Asia's emerging markets, which are key drivers of global growth, while simultaneously mitigating long-term climate-related risks and contributing to positive environmental outcomes. It represents a forward-looking strategy for those seeking to build a resilient portfolio that captures growth opportunities in Asia through a responsible and climate-conscious lens. The fund's accumulating share class structure ensures that any dividends are automatically reinvested, fostering long-term capital growth.
