To seek long-term investment growth through growth of capital. The Fund mainly invests in equities of global companies that are improving on environmental, social and governance (ESG) measures or whose products and services enable clients to advance their ESG objectives. The Fund will typically invest in 30 to 40 companies in any industry and of any size. These investments may be from anywhere in the world.

The Fund promotes environmental and social characteristics in accordance with Article 8 of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (the “SFDR”).

In its implementation of the Fund’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy, the Investment Manager favours companies with improving ESG profiles measured through transforming their own products and services or enabling other entities to advance ESG objectives, as captured by its proprietary ESG research, engagement and ratings methodology.

The Fund’s environmental or social characteristics are assessed both quantitatively and qualitatively, by means of sustainability indicators as well as of the Investment Manager’s proprietary research and engagement process to determine a company's profile on ESG issues. This includes generating an ESG rating, through the Investment Manager’s proprietary ESG ratings system as further described below. As part of its investment decision making process, the Investment Manager’s ESG strategy also uses binding criteria to the selection of underlying assets and applies specific ESG exclusions.

Finally, the Fund has a minimum allocation of 10% of its portfolio to sustainable investments. The Fund ensures that its sustainable investments do not cause significant harm to any environmental or social sustainable investment objective.

• The Fund is subject to the following risks which are materially relevant:
  Concentration risk: the risk that arises when a fund invests in relatively few holdings, few sectors or a restricted geographic area. Performance may be more volatile than a fund with a greater number of securities.
  Equity risk: prices of equities may be affected by factors such as economic, political, market, and issuer-specific changes. Such changes may adversely affect the value of the equities regardless of company-specific performance.
  Sustainability: The fund's integration of sustainability risks in the investment decision process may have the effect of excluding profitable investments from the investment universe of the fund and may also cause the fund to sell investments that will continue to perform well. A sustainability risk could materialise due to an environmental, social or governance event or condition which may impact the fund's investments and negatively affect the returns of the fund.
  Liquidity risk: the risk that arises when adverse market conditions affect the ability to sell assets when necessary. Such risk may be triggered by (but not limited to) unexpected events such as environmental disasters or pandemics. Reduced liquidity may have a negative impact on the price of the assets.

For further explanation on the risks associated with an investment in the fund, please refer to the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the base prospectus and "Primary Risks" in the fund supplement. Complete information on the risks of investing in the Fund are set out in the Fund’s prospectus.
