About this fund

Fund objectives

  • The Fund employs a passive management – or indexing – investment approach and seeks to achieve the performance of the Bloomberg EUR Non-Government Float Adjusted Bond Index (the “Index”).
  • The Index includes euro denominated investment-grade fixed-income securities, excluding Eurozone government debt and government related bonds, with maturities greater than one year.
  • The Fund promotes environmental and social characteristics by excluding fixed income securities from its portfolio based on the impact of the issuer’s conduct or products on society and / or the environment. This is met by not holding fixed income securities in the Index of issuers that do not meet specific “socially responsible” criteria.
  • The Fund attempts to: 1. Match the risk factor exposures of the Index by investing in a representative sample of the securities that make up the Index, excluding any securities which do not meet socially responsible investing criteria. The criteria take into consideration environmental, social and ethical factors as determined by the Index provider and exclude component securities that violate United Nations Global Compact (“UNGC”) principles and securities of issuers that are involved in making controversial weapons and tobacco products. 2. Remain fully invested except in extraordinary market, political or similar conditions.
  • The SRI screening process, which excludes Index constituents that are or have engaged in activities that result in serious violations of the UNGC, is consistent with the characteristics promoted by the Fund.
  • The SRI screening process may also apply other criteria as necessary in developing the “socially responsible” screens, including avoidance of owning securities of issuers that are involved in, or are determined (by the Index provider) to derive revenue from, the production of controversial weapons such as cluster munitions, land mines, biochemical and nuclear weapons and those involved in the manufacture of tobacco products.
  • The SRI screening process is a pre-determined, rules-based methodology applied objectively by the Index provider to the Index, which results in a SRI exclusion list of issuers that have failed the screening process. The SRI exclusion list is then provided to the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager removes securities of issuers included in the SRI exclusion list from the list of Index securities eligible for investment by the Fund. In the event that the Fund holds securities of an issuer which is added to the SRI exclusion list, the Investment Manager aims to sell the non-eligible securities as soon as possible, taking into account the best interests of Shareholders.
  • Company product and conduct involvement is monitored on a yearly basis by the Index provider and as new data is made available to the Index provider.
