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 infrastructure. Infrastructure refers to facilities and functions that ensure basic functions in a society and include primarily, but not exclusively, transport, communication, energy, water, social security, buildings and property structure. Investments are made worldwide and are not limited to specific geographical areas.
Fund investments are selected through a systemic asset management model. The asset management model takes into account the companies’ exposure to the infrastructure 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.
The fund does not invest in companies that have been confirmed as acting in conflict with international norms and conventions related to human rights, labor law, corruption and the environment. The fund takes a restrictive position to fossil fuels and the fund does not invest in companies with business activities within the military equipment, tobacco, alcohol, commercial gambling, cannabis and pornography in the manner described in the prospectus. However, the fund may invest in companies involved in power generation, distribution or services related to fossil fuels in cases where the companies are deemed to be transitioning their business activities to more renewable energy.
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 GPR ESG Screened Global Infrastructure Index.
