The Fund aims to achieve a total return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund’s assets, in a manner consistent with the principles of sustainable investing. The Fund seeks to gain investment exposure to equity securities (e.g. shares) of companies in global developed markets. This is achieved by investing in equities and equity-related securities, fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds), money market instruments (MMIs) (debt securities with short-term maturities), deposits and cash. The FI securities and MMIs may be issued by governments, government agencies, companies and supranationals (e.g. the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) and will be investment grade (i.e. meet a specified level of credit worthiness) at the time of purchase. The Fund will use quantitative (i.e. mathematical or statistical) models in order to achieve a rule based approach to stock selection. The models select stocks from a broad universe of equities and rank them according to multiple characteristics, including certain style factors (i.e. characteristics of companies that can be interpreted as specific drivers of return, such as ‘value’, ‘quality’, ‘momentum’, ‘low volatility’ and ‘size’), fundamental information (e.g. financial reports), market sentiment, general economic themes (e.g. interest rates), and environmental, social and governance (ESG) and sustainability characteristics.
