Objectives and Investment Policy
The fund is managed according to a rules-based, systematic asset management model and its objective is to offer exposure to companies associated with European infrastructure and resilience. Infrastructure and resilience refers to facilities and functions that ensure basic functions in a society and include primarily, but not exclusively, transport, communication, energy, water, defense, health care, social security, buildings and property structure.
Fund investments are selected through a systemic asset management model. The asset management model takes into account the companies’ exposure to the infrastructure and resilience theme and other factors, such as liquidity, risk and stock market value, can impact the selection of companies and the companies’ weighting in the fund. The fund’s returns are determined by how the value of the equities in which the fund invests increases or decreases.
International norms and guidelines for the environment, social responsibility and corporate governance are taken into consideration and the fund applies an exclusion strategy for companies with business activities within the weapons and war materials in countries outside NATO/EU, controversial weapons, nuclear weapons, tobacco, cannabis, commercial gambling, pornography and fossil fuels segments/sectors.
The fund may invest in derivative instruments as part of the fund’s investment focus. However, the use of derivative instruments is not of such a nature that it impacts the fund’s risk level in any significant manner.
We compare the fund’s performance to the Solactive iCubed Civil Defence Index NTR.
