Investment objective
This actively managed equity fund aims to achieve long-term capital growth.
Key features
While respecting risk diversification, the fund invests across industries predominantly in equities, equity-like transferable securities, participation certificates, and depositary receipts of companies that are based in the US and/or doing business mainly there. It may be indirectly exposed to real estate, subject to a specific limit. It may use derivatives to achieve its investment objective. It uses its benchmark for performance comparison.
Approach
The investment team manages the equity portfolio largely based on proprietary quantitative models. It considers specific sustainability criteria in assessing potential investments, promoting environmental and/or social characteristics. The models systematically select and prefer companies that have received higher sustainability scores from the respective scoring model.

RISKS
When seeking to achieve its investment objective the Sub-Fund is subject to General Risks, to Investment Fund Risks, to Investment Management Risks and to Other Risks. Investing in the Sub-Fund implies the following risk factors which are described in detail in the section Risk Factors of the Sales Prospectus.
Investment Fund Risks
There is no guarantee that the fund will achieve its investment objective or that you will get back the amount you originally invested.
The value of your investment can go up or down in response to changes in economic conditions, interest rates, exchange rates, or company creditworthiness. Events such as pandemics, wars, or natural disasters can cause significant and unpredictable market disruptions worldwide.
If a key service provider (such as the investment manager or depositary) fails or becomes insolvent, this could cause delays in processing your transactions or result in financial losses for the fund.
In difficult market conditions, it may not be possible to sell certain investments quickly or at a fair price, which could mean the fund is unable to meet your redemption request promptly or may have to apply tools such as temporary restrictions on withdrawals.
Investment Management Risks
Shares in companies can fall in value at any time, and there is no guarantee of returns; while equities have historically offered higher long-term returns, they also carry higher short-term risk.
REITs can fall in value due to declining property prices, rising interest rates, increased operating costs, or poor management quality. These factors directly reduce the value of the underlying real estate and therefore the REIT securities held by the fund
Derivatives such as options, futures, and swaps can magnify gains but also amplify losses, and if used incorrectly or in unfavourable market conditions could result in substantial or total loss. There is also a risk that the counterparty to a derivative contract defaults on its obligations, further increasing potential losses.
When the fund invests in assets denominated in a different currency to the fund's reference currency, movements in exchange rates can increase or decrease the value of your investment independently of how the underlying assets perform. Not all currency exposure may be hedged.
Applying ESG (environmental, social, and governance) criteria may cause the fund to avoid certain investments or sectors, which could positively or negatively affect performance compared to funds that do not apply such criteria. ESG data from third parties may be incomplete or inaccurate, and there is no universally agreed standard for what qualifies as a sustainable investment.
Other Risks
Environmental, social, or governance events (such as climate change, social controversies, or poor corporate governance) can negatively impact the value of the fund's investments.
Any of these risks could cause a Sub-Fund to lose money, to perform less well than similar investments, to experience high volatility of the Share price, or to fail to meet its investment objective over any period of time. It cannot be guaranteed that the investor will recover the capital invested.
Subject to change, without notice, only the current prospectus or comparable document of the fund is legally binding.
Neither the Sub-Fund, nor the Management Company nor the Investment Manager make any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the fairness, correctness, accuracy, reasonableness or completeness of an assessment of ESG research and the correct execution of the ESG strategy.
