Currency policy
Except for the active currency positions, currency risks are hedged to the base currency of the fund (EUR).
Dividend policy
All income earned will be accumulated and not be distributed as dividend. Therefore the entire return is reflected in the share price development.
ESG Integration policy
Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) aspects are systematically integrated in our highly disciplined investment process in several ways. Firstly, the portfolio’s ESG score is substantially better than the market. This score is developed by sustainability expert RobecoSAM. Also, the environmental footprint on greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, water use and waste generation is expected to be substantially lower than the market. Furthermore, we apply an extensive exclusion list covering various controversial sectors or business practices and we continuously monitor our universe for companies with corporate governance issues, major litigations or regulatory risk. Finally, we conduct proxy voting and engagement activities to improve companies’ behavior on ESG themes. Our enhanced form of ESG integration ensures we avoid the risk of being overexposed to less sustainable companies and captures financially material mid- to long term risks and opportunities like corporate governance and climate change.
