Overview
Fund description
The fund has two aims: to provide a growing level of income over any three-year period through investment in a range of assets from around the world; and to provide capital growth of 2-4% on average per year over any three-year period, while applying environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria. The core of the fund comprises company shares and fixed income securities, with a focus on income-generating assets. The fund may also invest via derivatives or through other funds. The holdings in different asset classes will be adjusted regularly according to where the fund manager sees the most value and to manage risks. The fund invests in securities that meet the ESG criteria, applying an exclusionary approach as described in the prospectus.
