Fund aim
The objective of the Fund is to provide long term return consisting of a combination of capital growth and income. The Fund aims to deliver this objective while maintaining a lower weighted average carbon intensity than the Benchmark Index.
The Fund is actively managed and seeks to achieve this objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in a variety of Euro denominated fixed interest instruments such as corporate bonds, other fixed or floating-rate debt securities and short-term debt securities. These may include asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities (residential & commercial), convertible securities and contingent convertible debt securities.
