What is the strategy objective, above all in terms of ESG?
Long-term social, demographic, environmental and resource challenges are reshaping the global economic landscape, creating new investment opportunities for companies providing solutions to these challenges, and growing risks for those sectors that deplete human and natural capital. We seek to generate superior returns from global equities by investing in companies providing solutions to some of the most serious environmental and social challenges facing mankind over the coming decades.
Please elaborate on how value added is created implementing your ESG-related approach on the respective strategy level?
Sustainability, positive impact and ESG are the core of our value creation strategy. The investment philosophy of the fund is built around sustainability, growth, quality and valuation. The fund is focused on nine sustainable investment themes; five environmental (cleaner energy, environmental services, resource efficiency, sustainable transport, and water management), and four social themes; (education, health, safety, and well-being). Individual stocks are selected through a ‘bottom-up’ stock-by-stock fundamental and rigorous research process.
